A very specific Beef Hamburger Chili Recipe that has dark chocolate in it.
Thank you.

Hello Heather,
Heather, I cannot find any mention at all of a chili recipe with dark chocolate or light chocolate or cocoa that has any connection with James Barber or his Urban Peasant program. There might be mention of such a recipe in one of his cookbooks (many of them are available on Amazon and other used book sellers.) or on a transcript of one of his Urban Peasant programs, but if so, it has not been mentioned on the internet. The Google AI could not find any mention of it, either.
There is an "Urban Peasant" Facebook page, whose owners are trying to collect all of Barber's Urban Peasant recipes and to transcribe the programs. That might be the best place for you to post a request for it. See: Urban Peasant
There is a Newfoundland Facebook Page that has some of Barber's chili recipes on it, but not any with dark chocolate, light chocolate, or cocoa. See: Newfoundland Dishes and Recipes
There are chili recipes on the internet with dark chocolate or cocoa, but none of them mentions James Barber.
If a James Barber recipe for chili with dark chocolate exists, I would suggest that your best chance of finding it is to post your request on that Urban Peasant Facebook page linked above. Second best chance would be to buy all of the used copies of Barber's "Urban Peasant" cookbooks that you can find on Amazon or Ebay or any of the other used booksellers on the web.
I will post this for reader input. There's always a chance that someone who has the recipe will read it and send the recipe.
