chocolate turkey chili

hello delicious. though it may be getting late in the soup season, i still love whipping up a pot of chili in these crisp spring months (to be honest i love soup year round, i am a weird duck). with my major sweet tooth, i am always looking for an excuse to eat chocolate. so when i came across this recipe it was perfect, two of my favorite foods whipped up into a delicious, hearty meal! i have made this recipe a few times this year (always freezing the extras so i can have more later) but never thought to share it with all of my friends on this little space. why you may ask? i simply don't know! so i won't make you wait any longer, don't feel like you can only make this in the winter. this is good year round!
