One Popular Candy Is The Secret Ingredient For Better Chili
BY LUNA REGINA
Chili is a great comfort food because it’s a hearty, rich stew. It is already delicious, but there are ways to make it even better with unexpected ingredients like Reese’s cups.
Candy in chili sounds like a recipe for disaster, but the combination is excellent. The peanut butter brings a rich undertone that complements the stew’s savory nature.
The chocolate balances out the spiciness with its bittersweet tone. Together, they infuse the chili with a unique complexity and taste that is like no other.
Stir in one or two Reese’s cups cut into pieces towards the end of cooking. Once the cups are fully melted, let the stew simmer for a bit to achieve a thick, luscious consistency.
