MOLE SAUCE (CHOCOLATE BASED)
A popular Mexican sauce made of spice and chocolate. We enjoy it over enchiladas, chicken, and burritos. I some times make a double batch as this freezes very well. *Please do not leave out the chocolate as it is what makes this mole sauce.* Can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth in place of chicken broth.

MOLE POBLANO SAUCE
Mole is a rich, dark, reddish-brown, smooth sauce made spicy and robust with a creative blend of seasonings that most often includes dried chiles, onion, garlic, and ground sesame or pumpkin seeds. Its best-known ingredient is Mexican chocolate which is used sparingly. The chocolate, flavored with cinnamon, almonds, and vanilla, provides richness to the sauce without adding a cloyingly sweet aftertaste. In Mexico, mole, commonly served with poultry, is prepared in hundreds of ways. Its roster of ingredients can number few as four and as many as four dozen.
