.......The only thing besides finely chopped beef (not "chili meat") and spices that I put in my chili is chocolate.

LOL
I'll bet you love chicken mole too.
(I know I do)

I make a pretty good chicken mole', but I cheat. (How many Yankees just thought you asked me about a cross between a ground-burrowing rodent and a chicken, I wonder--it's pronounced molay, northern FRiends).
Anyway, I cheat and my mom always cheated too. That stuff you buy in the jelly jar/glass in the Mexican food aisle is the real thing and will do nicely, but you have to only use about half of it and "doctor" it with extra cumin and garlic yourself. Further, DO NOT cook it by itself as a sauce that will be poured on top of a sad, tired, boneless skinless chicken breast later. Pre-cook your chicken thighs and/or legs (on the bone), and then put your chicken IN THE SAUCE as it finishes cooking. That's the secret.

oh, me too. I love mole. The owner of the local Mexican place always teases me, he never even gives me a menu anymore he just says "the usual with mole on everything, right?"
YEP!
