I never found a mole sauce with a peanut butter base until this one. I grew up with a peanut butter mole sauce and was thrilled to find this. I followed the directions exactly and while the ingredients are very different from my grandmother's recipe, it looked and tasted very similar. This recipe was easier to make than my grandmother's and I very much enjoyed it. Looking forward to sharing it with my sisters. Thank you.

Luv this mole sauce -- it is incredibly good! So much easier to make than the traditional mole with chocolate, but equally delicious in it's own way! This sauce will be going into my Best of 2012 and will be made often. Served this chicken and mole sauce in a warm corn tortilla. It doesn't need any additional ingredients, but you could serve it along with mexican condiments if you wish. Made for the Newest Zaar Tag, June, 2012.
