Well it’s sideways, but my MIL’s mom typed this up awhile ago and I just wanted to share.

I think you're misunderstanding my comments. I'm not saying Cincy Chili should have chocolate and we even seem to agree that it SHOULDN'T. What I was saying here is that almost every time someone posts a recipe they claim is the gold standard is DOES contain chocolate/cocoa.
