I made chicken mole (mo-lay) for my son’s Spanish class that was chicken cooked in a spicy bbq-type sauce with dark chocolate melted into the sauce. My first thought was ‘Gross!’ when I read the recipe but it was *very* good. The chocolate made the sauce richer and...deeper somehow, if that makes sense.

I think the Aztec's perfected this delicious spicey combination.

If you like chocolate, and you are in a good chocolatier, look for Lake Champlain Aztec chocolate. It is fantastic! 55% cocoa content with cayenne, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon ... the spices add a delightful tingle to the rich chocolate, similar to your mole. This could be a new diet trend.

I use chocolate in many spicy dishes the way I use vanilla in many sweet dishes. A dash of it blends and binds the flavors in a way that is hard to describe.
