Mole Sauce (Chocolate Based) image

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.
