Not all Cincinnati Style recipes will call for chocolate, this is a pretty good one that does. Don't forget Cincinnati style chili served alone is Chili 1-way, chili with beans added is a 2-way, a 2-way over spaghetti is a 3-way, a 3-way topped with grated cheese or chopped onion is a 4-way, and a 4-way with BOTH grated cheese AND chopped onion is a 5-way. O.K.?
