February Week 2 - Incorporate Chocolate Into A Meal!
Ferren here again! Moving onto this interesting challenge of incorporating chocolate into a meal. At first I was thinking of taking the easy way out and making waffles or pancakes for dinner but after googling some recipes I decided to give one a try. I kept it a secret from my husband until after he had tried it.

This week's meal was found on the blog Gimme Some Oven a blog full of tons and tons of recipes!
I'm not going to lie, I stole this picture from the blog.
I rate this recipe at most 1.5 stars...
Reasons: My chili didn't look very appealing.
It took longer for me to cook it so that the beans weren't all hard and crunchy.
It was bland, it was spicy but it didn't have much flavor.
I have had a much better tasting black bean chili
It wasn't gross but it wasn't good
Notes: The chocolate and coconut barely affect the taste so don't worry!
Make sure to test the beans, to make sure you cook them long enough.
About 6-8 servings.
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 2 Hours 30 Minutes
