Chili Con Carne with Chocolate might sound a little bit strange – until you’ve tried it!
We love to make Chili Con Carne on a campfire as it ads a magical touch to the meal, but you can of course also make it on a stove. The smell of the delicious ingredients mixed with togetherness and “hygge” is just otherworldly. You can’t go wrong with a delicious and heartwarming Chili Con Carne. This version is made so that both children and adults can enjoy it.
Complete your cosy campfire dinner by serving our sweet fudge s’mores as a dessert.
