Personal Notes:
This is my original recipe which has been an award winner in two chili cook-offs over the years. I think it's the chocolate that makes the difference. You can make the chili as hot as you like by using a spicier variety of seasoned chili mix and/or Extra Hot Rotel. In case you are wondering, you won't be able to recognize a chocolate flavor once chili is prepared but will notice a rich, full bodied flavor that the chocolate brings when merged with other ingredients.
