Aztec Beef Chili #Choctoberfest

This post is sponsored by Forte Chocolate as part of #Choctoberfest 2018 event. I received bars of chocolate from Forte Chocolate Gusto Collection Series to review and create recipes. The giveaway is subject to the terms below. All opinions are my own.

Aztec Beef Chili serves tender beef and black beans in a smoky, spicy Mexican-inspired chocolate and tomato sauce. One bite will convince you chocolate and chili are a perfect pair! Celebrate Life Through Chocolate!

Welcome to Day Two of #Choctoberfest blogger recipe event and giveaway hosted by Allison Boyer Hewitt from Food Blogger Love and the PinterTest Kitchen. Thanks Allison for hosting!

I’m a big chocolate fan AND a big chili fan. This combo didn’t appeal to me at first. Then I discovered Forte Aztec Soul Chili Peppers in Chocolate bars.

These bars have a delicate balance of heat and sweet. Aztec Soul Chili Peppers in Chocolate bars are made in the tradition of the Aztecs by combining with dark chocolate with roasted peppers. Forte’s Aztec Soul bars focus is on  on the remarkable flavor combination of chili peppers and chocolate rather than on burning your palette. The bar itself is Vegan and Gluten free.

That subtle heat makes this bar perfect for brownies, syrups, cakes and savory dishes like chili and barbecue.

Using roasted poblano peppers adds a bit of smoky flavor without a lot of heat.  To roast peppers, cut in half, remove seeds and pith then broil flat until skins char, about 4 minutes. Remove and wrap in paper towels. Skins should loosen and slid off.
