Slow Cooker Chocolate Jackfruit Pumpkin Chili

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’ll be linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl! This week’s theme is Choctoberfest! Since it’s right around soup/chili season, I decided to make a vegan slow cooker Chocolate Jackfruit Pumpkin Chili! :]

A lot of people only think about sweets when it comes to chocolate, but did you know that it can be used in savory recipes as well? Forte Chocolates has developed a line of Gusto bars to embrace the motto, “Celebrate Life Through Chocolate!”

The Gusto line includes flavors like the Balsamic Vinegar Bar, the Firewood Honey Bar, Lemon Pepper Bar, Milk Sea Salt Bar, and the Rosemary Sea Salt Bar! :]

As you probably know by now, I’m a fan of recipes that are super easy and quick, so slow cooker recipes are right up my alley! A couple years back in med school, we had a chili cook-off and my friend gave me her chocolate chili recipe, so I figured I’d do a vegan variation of it! I received free product in exchange for recipe development, but as per usual, all thoughts/opinions are mine and mine alone!

If you don’t feel like sauteeing the onions and garlic beforehand, you could theoretically just throw everything into the slow cooker and be done with it. I really like that this it’s so easy to make a huge batch of this (yay for meal prep!), so if you happen to be looking for a good vegan + vegetarian recipe, this would be a good choice! (I’ve been topping my baked potatoes with em’, and I bet this would be good with cornbread! I should try making some…)

I decided to use the Forte 64% Dark Bar for this chili–it gives it a this chili a sweet and savory twist! The Aztec Soul bar (Chili Pepper in Dark Chocolate) would probably work super well with this recipe too!
