Debbies Chocolate Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Combine ground round and onion in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until beef is browned, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer cooked beef and onions to slow cooker. Stir in water, tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, chocolate chips, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Cook on High until chili begins to bubble, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to Low, and cook until thick, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Mix together seasoning mix.
• Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. (You will only use 5 tsp in this recipe - save the rest for next time!).
• In a skillet, cook ground beef until no longer pink.
• Drain.
• Add onion and 3 tsp of seasoning mix.
• In Crock-Pot, add tomatoes, tomato sauce, one can of beans and two more teaspoons of seasoning mix.
• Place the other can of beans in a blender and process until smooth.
• Add beans and meat to the crock pot.
• Stir together.
• Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine cookie mix, cocoa, orange zest, cinnamon and cayenne. Beat in butter, egg, vanilla and, if desired, Triple Sec., Mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into 1-in. balls; roll in sugar mixture. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until set, 8-10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
• Sieve flour and cocoa into a mixing bowl.
• Add sugar and coconut.
• Mix in vanilla extract, butter and egg. (I do the mixing in the food processor, but a wooden spoon in a big mixing bowl will do just as well).
• The mixture should now resemble moist breadcrumbs.
• Empty mixture into a shallow, greased lamington (bar) tin measuring approximately 27cm x 17cm (11" x 7").
• Using your fingers, spread mixture evenly into tin. If you need help to get it smooth on top, use the back of a spoon or roll the side of a glass over it, but don't press down too hard. It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth.
• Now bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until slightly firm.
• While it's baking, make the icing sugar by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and beating with an electric mixer.
• While the slice is still warm, spoon over icing and smooth out evenly.
• Allow it to cool a little more and then sprinkle over some more coconut and, if you like, decorate with glace cherries.
• While still warm-ish, cut into squares, but don't remove the squares until it's completely cool.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired.
• Add the ground black pepper, garlic salt, tomato sauce, salsa, chili seasoning mix and kidney beans. Mix well, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least an hour.
