Just read this thread. Great one I may add. I was thinking the whole time that no one had mentioned the cocoa until I read this one. I also add cocoa and brown sugar! I will also use bacon next time. Great idea! I can't wait to see how your contest turns out PF. we will all have to make a pot the way you end up making it so we can see how it tastes.
