Um, you probably won't believe this, but I plan on making this tomorrow, with almost this exact recipe.

Minus the black beans (which I don't have) and the chocolate syrup.

I made mine last night. I really missed the black beans!

Shannon,
I don't blame you! I like using black beans a lot more than kidney beans. I used to cook with dark red kidney beans almost exclusively (back in the day). My family likes the black ones better. And, black beans have recently been reported to be an extremely good source of nutritional antioxidants.

I bet the chocolate gives it a mole flavor--my fave!!

Now how easy is this?! Now wonder "Easy" is part of the title. The chocolate syrup almost threw me for a loop, but I'm guessing it gives it the chocolate mole texture and rich flavoring? Yesterday we had a chili cook-off at work...I bet this would've been one of the winners! Thanks for sharing, Marianne.

I love trying different chilies. I've heard of putting in a bit of chocolate but ths is the frist one I've seen with chocolate syrup. Sounds interesting.
