YouTube chef Adam Ragusea (previously at Neatorama) breaks down the basics of making homemade chili. It's really quite simple. About 50 years ago, a friend made some really good chili and I got her recipe. Over time, I have changed and refined it to my own liking. I've made vegan chili a few times, but now I use some meat, plus more beans by volume. I've never added chocolate, and any time I think about doing it, I rarely have chocolate in the house. The point is, homemade chili is a wonderful food that you can improve upon throughout your life. Ragusea imparts his chili philosophy that will lead you to your own perfect recipe, and many evenings of good meals. Add cheese and/or sour cream (if you like) when serving, plus corn chips or crackers. Don't be put off by this video's apparent length. Only 4:40 is devoted to chili; the rest is an ad. -via Digg

My problem with the suggestion of adding a few loose dark chocolate chips is that once the bag is open, the rest of the chips seem to simply disappear within a day or so.
