Chef's Tips
- ·For the best flavor, choose high-quality dark chocolate (70% or more) to add a rich depth to your chilli.
- ·Avoid the common mistake of adding the peppers too early; they should only go in 30 minutes before the end to retain their crunch and vibrant color.
You can prepare the ingredients a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Just assemble everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and you'll have a delicious meal waiting for you later. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
