Cocoa Chili

Cocoa Chili

Rich. Bold. Unexpected. This chili takes comfort food up a notch with a smoky-sweet twist. Ground beef, veggies, and tomatoes simmer low and slow with Cocoa Canto — a deep, chocolatey spice blend that adds warmth, complexity, and just the right kick.

Serving idea: Top with shredded cheese, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream — and don’t forget a slice of cornbread to soak up every last drop.
