Savory chocolate recipes

Does anyone have any good savory recipes that use chocolate in any form (cocoa, dark, milk, etc)?
Thanks!

    Few if any of these use it as a major flavoring ingredient. Rather it adds some color and a few background notes.

    However Aztec rulers were reputed to have drunk an unsweetened chocolate and chile beverage.

      Sauteed shrimp w/garlic, butter, and a sprinkling of unsweetened cocoa powder...cribbed from some Spanish cookbook whose title I can't recall.

            I have used dark chocolate chips in my chili--I don't have a real recipe for that, though.

            Of course there's also Mexican mole sauce, which is delicious, but I've never dared to make it, since it seems so involved and time-consuming.

            I'll be interested to see what response you get!
