Don't be afraid.
It IS spicy, but there is pleasure in pain, right?
Ha! This chili
does, indeed, have a kick, but it's the secret ingredients that give it a whole
different level of awesomeness!
Coffee and chipotle peppers give this chili a wild and
spicy kick that is absolutely delicious.
The chipotle peppers give the chili a slight smokiness
that dances on your tongue, but it's the coffee that sneaks onto your taste
buds and has you wondering …“
What…How did I not know to add this before?”
This chili offers a perfect marriage of flavors and
spiciness.
This
will be your go-to chili recipe from now on…I promise!
