Yum! I love a good chili recipe. I've never put cinnamon or cocoa in it, though.

Thank you! It's really good!! You can't REALLY tell, it just adds something a little extra. I highly recommend. :)

Oh I always love a good chilli. I haven't tried cocoa or cinnamon but I will remember to try it :) It looks delicious =)

Thank you so much! I hope you like it, let me know if you give it a try. :)

Ooh, I am a huge chili fan, too. I've used beer in mine before, but never tried white wine. I bet the cocoa adds a nice depth, too! Thanks for sharing!

Beer is such a great idea! I think I remember seeing a recipe that had Guinness in it for St. Patrick's day. I might just have to play around with different beers now that I know it's a real thing. Thanks so much for the idea!!!
