I was inspired to think about it by todays Chow Recipe of the Day, Chile hot chocolate. There are many wonderful sweet and savoury chocolate chili recipes like those above and a great Mole sauce. What are your favourite foods that use these two ingredients? Please feel free to share your thoughts, and pictures and recipes if you feel so inclined.

I made a delicious Venison chili recently and added some chopped bittersweet chocolate in it. Fabulous! Also, I make a really good flourless chocolate cake that I add ancho chile powder to. It's sweet with a unexpected smokey heat finish on the back of the throat that's nice. Sat Oct 24 21:16:35 -0700 2009 5124611 1108638 Cherylptw 2 5131440 ¡Por favor! No metes con el posole.

Also, Cowgirl Chocolates sells a line of bars and nibs that combine dark chocolate with chili powder and another that combines chocolate & tequila that is to die for.

There are a lot of Lindt varieties that don't get imported to the US - I also picked up some dark chocolate with sea salt, and "Intense Blueberry dark," none of which I've seen over here. Mon Oct 26 07:47:28 -0700 2009 5124611 14386 BobB 2 5131524 BobB, My local Stop & Shop carries all of the Lindt dark chocolate var. you mention above. Mon Oct 26 08:52:11 -0700 2009 5131318 36312 HillJ 3 5131786 Really? Cool! Where is this wonderful S&S? I brought home a bunch of the blueverry ones for a friend whose two favorite foods are blueberries and chocolate. When I googled it the only references I found were in Swedish, so I assumed (having never seen it here) that it was not brought in. Good to know!

Oh and give the drink recipes by Lindt a try. We enjoy adapting this one: http://www.lindtusa.com/info-exec/display/white_choco_chai Mon Oct 26 10:13:47 -0700 2009 5131786 36312 HillJ 5 5131903 Interesting - the Lindt USA Web site does show the chili and sea salt varieties, but not the intense blueberry - surprising, since it does list several other of their "intense" fruit flavors like pear and orange. In fact the only blueberry item on the entire site is a wimpy-looking blueberry-vanilla yogurt bar. Are you sure you've seen Intense Blueberry in the US? Mon Oct 26 10:44:07 -0700 2009 5131813 14386 BobB 6 5132015 BobB, I didn't check the entire Lindt product listing today but yes, the S&S carries the dark chocolate bars as you described. Mon Oct 26 11:13:58 -0700 2009 5131903 36312 HillJ 7 5132438 Thanks, I will look for them. Mon Oct 26 13:26:15 -0700 2009 5132015 14386 BobB 8 5134605 my local Metro grocery store carries the sea salt and chili flavor. As does Pharmaprix. They often go on sale, 2 for $5.
