Here is how you make Black Bean and Chocolate Chili:

Directions:1In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and saut? until onions become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.2Add the celery and chile, cover and cook for another five minutes more.3Reduce the heat and stir in spices, (cumin, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, salt) along with the bell peppers. Cover again and cook for another five minutes. Stir often to keep the spices from burning. If the pan gets too dry add a little liquid from the diced tomatoes, or some water.4Next, add the black beans, tomatoes, lime juice (if using) and soy sauce. Let the chili simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly and flavors combine.5Stir in the chocolate. When chocolate has melted, taste to adjust the salt and pepper. Serve with topping of your choice. I like a bit of vegan cheese, sour "cream" and scallions.6Chili can also makes a great filling to serve wrapped in flour tortillas, or in taco shells if you prefer.Serving Size: makes 16 207-gram servingsNumber of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WEEZUS77.
