• 12 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 large orange bell pepper, chopped
• 14 cup dark brown sugar
• 12 dark chocolate (i used high quality, 60% cocoa)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 5 large fresh basil leaves, minced
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Sriracha)
• 1 dash cayenne
• 12-1 cup water (you'll have to thin to your liking but i intended this to be a thick-stew like chili)

1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot.
2. Simmer on low for 2 hours covered.
3. Stir frequently to avoid bottom gunk.
4. I serve mine with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, a small dollop of sour cream and saltine crackers or tortilla chips.
5. If you are vegan you would leave out this step.
