Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until browned and crumbly. Add garlic, onions and green peppers and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until garlic is fragrant and onions begin to soften. Stir in kidney beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cocoa, sugar, vinegar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes or for up to 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Add ¼ cup water if chili becomes too thick.
