In Mexico, however, chocolate is commonly used in savory dishes, such as chicken in mole sauce, to give added depth of flavor.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coarsley ground black pepper
1 ounce semisweet chocolate
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4-5 minutes.
3. Add beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cocoa powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until beginning to thicken slightly, about 15 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until melted.
