My son and husband love this hearty side dish. It's quick and easy to prepare but yet so flavorful. Chocolate, chili and honey mingle to create a rich, savory flavor that's not too spicy and not too sweet. —Roxanne Chan, Albany, California

Test Kitchen tips
  • Although this dish is great with several different types of beans, it would be equally good with just one.
  • You could add 2 to 3 cups of broth to make a festive mole chili.
