Featuring Natural Complete Chili Soup Starter. There are a million and one chili recipes out there, but if you’ve never tried chocolate chili, you are in for a rare treat! This is the richest chili I have ever tasted. I used Wilbur® Buds, a premium local brand made in Lititz, PA, for this recipe. The chocolate adds a deep and slightly sweet flavor that counterbalances the heat from the chili powders in the Soup Starter mix. It’s a “must try” and a great way to feed a football crowd!
