Three Bean Chocolate Chilli
A steaming bowl of smoky chilli packed with flavour and warmth is hard to beat. Unless, of course, you want to take it to the next level and add in an extra special ingredient. That extra special ingredient being none other than Well + Happy chocolate! It adds a real depth of flavour without being overpowering and I can't imagine making chilli without it.
