Notes

  • The owners of Skyline Chili are on the record that there is NO chocolate in the chili and it is not listed as a possible allergen. If you do want to use chocolate (it is delicious!), here is how. 
  • Omit the sugar and instead add 2-3 tablespoons of grated unsweetened chocolate or cocoa powder.
