  1. this is an amazingly simple recipe and tastes great! it was my husband's first time having mole (and my hundredth) and he absolutely loved it. i added a lot more chocolate and doubled the recipe because i like a lot of sauce (i serve it over rice). i'm going to use it to make mole enchiladas tonight. thanks for sharing.
     
  2. This was my first attempt to make my own Mole, rather than buying a can of the base and going from there. This was FANTASTIC!! I made it for my DH for his birthday dish, per his request. I did add more cinnamon (almost 3 times the called amount) and tripled the recipe because we had company coming over. It went over very well, and I am so glad that I stumbled upon this recipe for this sauce. It has everything that I have on hand, and now I will never buy the canned sauce again. Thanks so much!!!
     
  3. My Spanish teacher made us do a Spanish cooking show project so he laid out different recipes on the table so we can choose one for our project. He told me everybody loved it last year so I decided to make it. when I was almost finish making the recipe I decided to taste it and I hated it. I think its because I prefer Mexican chili mole since I'm a chili addict.
     
  4. This was good, but I thought it needed something else - just couldn't quite put my finger on what. Maybe some sugar or more salt? Maybe more seasoning in general (other than the chili powder, which was plenty)... Otherwise, this was super easy and quick to throw together. Made a nice soft taco with some lettuce and sour cream. Thanks for posting!

<p>I'm a journalism and French major at the University of Georgia who discovered the joy of cooking a couple of years ago. I spend my summer vacations making dinner almost every night for my family, which includes my two younger sisters (11 and 14), and leap at the opportunity to cook every time I go home for a weekend visit...unfortunately, cooking in the dorms is more trouble than it's worth! <br /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a></p>
