Chocolate Chili is a really easy dish to make for Valentine's Day!  It is sooo good and warming for a cold February night.  Serve with a salad,  Mississippi Mud Cake for dessert with juicy strawberries and you've got a great meal with not much effort!  The Delta Landing Zinfandel stands up to the spice in the chile, but serve Champagne with the dessert!  I bought the wine from Cork & Cow in Burlington.  Michelle, the owner always makes the best recommendations!  Scroll down for the printable recipes!

I topped the chili with cheddar cheese, cilantro and sliced fresh jalapeno peppers!  The chocolate adds a depth to the flavor of the chili!  I think you'll love it!

We made these fabulous recipes at my cooking class yesterday!  It was a really great morning and I so enjoyed spending time with this diverse group of creative women!

Don't miss out on these Crazy Blonde Cooking Classes!  They are different every time and so much fun.  There are two April classes...on April 9, we'll learn about the versatility of pesto (think more than pasta) and on the 27th, we'll be cooking with strawberries!

  Make the most of today because you can't get it back!  Follow me on Instagram @crazyblondelife.
