The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.19 star rating.

I've made this fantastic sauce numerous times, and every time, I get asked for the recipe! This recipe is great by itself, but I really love it with a lot of fresh cilantro and some chipotle pepper powder or even hot sauce to give it some zing. It's pretty forgiving, so don't worry about upsetting the balance of ingredients -- just modify to taste.

My brother loves the mole chicken at a local restaurant, so I make this one at home every once in a while. It's not quite like theirs but at least he'll eat it! (That's saying something, my brother is very picky.)

The easiest mole sauce, and quite yummy! I made it according to the recipe for the first time - next time I'll double the chocolate for a little bit richer flavor. It was terrific over beef & cheese enchiladas!

Used a fresh chile pepper, and it was perfect. My flatmates looked at me like I was crazy when I was putting cocoa into a chicken dish. But they were delightfully surprised and said I should make it again!

Good recipes I will make this again. VERY easy to make.We put shredded chicken inot sauce and we ate on corn shells. I do have to say this is not the mole I was looking for. I'll keep looking.

Soo good and easy. Everyone in our family loved it (husband myself and two kids under 5). I did go easy on the peppers and cumin and added a couple of cloves of garlic and fresh cilantro at the end. The basics of this recipe are so right on you can adjust the seasoning to your own likes and have it turn out just great.

Quick, easy and good. The only changes I made were to use tomato sauce instead of soup and to add a pinch of cinnamon. I made Juicy Roasted Chicken from this website, shredded it, and served it with the mole over rice. A satisfying combination that I will probably try again.

This was a good base recipe that's fun to doctor up. I made it exactly as directed the first time and it was tasty, then decided to alter it the second time, replacing the tomato soup with tomato sauce and the cocoa powder with Mexican chocolate (in a much great amount). It came out great!

The good thing is that this was easy to prepare and is inexpensive. However, it doesn't taste like real Mexican Mole. Traditional mexican mole uses mexican chocolate (which has cinnamon in it) and the sauce comes out richer and thicker. This has an okay taste, but it's not mole. We probably won't make it again. Thanks for the recipe anyway.

The sauce was good but definitely could have used more kick. Next time I will toss in some chili powder and more cumin etc.

This sauce is delicious! My boyfriend made it for me since I love it at the Mexican restaurant nearby. I was weary about how it would turn out, especially after looking over the simple ingredients, but it turned out great! We omitted the cilantro because I don't like it. This was easy to make and goes wonderfully on chicken and rice.

This truly is a wonderful dish -- rich, earthy, flavorful and low in fat and cholesterol. I've made it many times, but changed it quite significantly. I find the recipe workes best when I do the following -- REPLACE the vegetable oil with olive (healthier), the canned soup with 28 oz crushed tomatoes, the canned chillies with a jalapeno (seeds and ribs removed), the coco with 1 oz unsweetened dark chocolate, the dry garlic and cilantro with fresh. ADD cayenne peppers and coriander (to taste) plus one handful of finely ground almonds. Simmer it with about one pound of cooked chicken and add the cilantro close to the end of the cook time. Serve it over brown rice or in tortillas, toped with reduced-fat cheese, a dollop of light sour, or diced fresh cilantro. My favorite part: with the addition of olive oil, dark chocolate and almonds this dish offers a nice supply of anti-oxidants, which have been found in studies to lower blood pressure and protect the heart. Eat up!
