Story

So, what's the secret? A touch of cocoa! Some chocolate candies have a pinch of chili powder to add a bit of "what is that wonderful flavor" to them. So, why not do the same to a dish with chili powder... add a touch of cocoa! If you've been making the same old pork chops for years, it's really time to take a walk on the wild side. Enjoy!
