This is nothing like the mole that i had growing up, I even added what other reviews suggested and it still turned out nothing like I was used to, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either

I didn't have any green chiles and added a tablespoon of peanut butter - we loved it!! Serve with tortillas!

I had never had mole before but wanted to try it. My husband and I really liked it! After reading reviews, I used this recipe as a base and made some adjustments. I used 1oz of unsweetened bakers chocolate instead of liquid chocolate and melted it in the microwave. I also used tomato sauce, fresh hot peppers, fresh garlic, deleted the cilantro and added cayenne pepper, cinnamon, coriander and pepitas. We put it over chicken, brown rice, pepper jack cheese and avocados. Thanks for inspiring me to try something I've been curious about.

I did not care for this, and yes I did make it as listed. This taste nothing like the Mole my family grew up on.

Threw this in the slow cooker with a pork tenderloin. Added some chicken broth to make enough sauce. The pork was shreddable by the time it was cooked. This was SO GOOD! As in, lick the plate good! I also threw in a can of black beans. Served it over mashed potatoes, although I thought about serving it over baked potatoes. The sauce isn't too Mexican, it just made a very richly flavored sauce for the pork.

I read the recipe wrong and used tomato sauce also and it was fine. Loved how it made my chili taste!

Great recipe for novice mole-makers. Definitely don't use tomato soup! It tastes like...well, tomato soup. I used tomato sauce the second time and it turned out great! I also followed the suggestions and used fresh garlic and added corriander and cinnamon. I think I might try adding chili powder next time.

My Husband like this a lot, as well as my kids. It was a tad bit sweet for me, but I know that is what mole is all about. EASY though and quite good for the time.

When I read this recipe, I thought, "mole can't possibly be this easy!" It turns out it isn't. This didn't taste at *all* like mole. I couldn't even fix it.

Excellent! And so easy. I did find that the cocoa added a touch of bitterness that I didn't care for, but I took another's suggestion and added 2T of peanut butter, which helped. Everyone ate it! (!!!) I simmered chicken strips in the sauce and some of us wrapped it in tortillas w/lettuce and some ate it as is. The sauce got very thick; I didn't have any more broth to thin it, but we ate it anyway. Going into the rotation! Thanks.

Yummy!!I added a can of diced tomatoes, upped the amount of cocoa powder to 1.5 TBSP, added 2 TBSP of crunchy peanut butter (because an older hispanic woman I used to know always added PB to hers and it was super!)

Took the gist of this recipe, with a few changes: more cocoa powder, a whole onion, a respectable chunk of fresh garlic, lots of chili powder, some cinnamon, some cardamom (a.k.a. whatever was in my spice rack). Lacking tomato soup, I used the end of a bottle of spicy V8 and some chicken stock until the consistency looked right. I didn't have any chiles lying around, so I put this sauce on a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with taco-seasoned pulled pork and corn from a slow cooker, threw the whole thing in the oven at 350 for a few minutes to get everyone happy, and finished with some fresh cilantro and a squirt of lime juice on top. Whoa. Will be making this again. Probably tomorrow.

We are very pleased with this recipe! My 4year-old loved it. We had it over chicken wrapped in flour tortillas and added fresh avacado, tomato and made corn chips at home. I added a little (1/4cup maybe) extra water at the end before the boil to make sure it didn't get too thick. It turned out perfectly and I was very impressed. I will use this recipe often - we have mexican food several times a week.

This was the easiest, tastiest sauce I've made in a long time! I loved that it was adaptable to things I had in my pantry withou sacrificing flavor. I didn't have green chilis so I used a can of Rotel with green chilis and 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder for the heat. I drained the tomatoes and the sauce came out thick and rich. It was so good I just wanted to drink it!

I am rating this because I used it for a base recipe but added a lot of my own touch. I used 2 oz. of actual dark chocolate because that is what authentic mole sauce uses. I used a lot less tomato sauce (instead of soup) because it tasted too much like doctored tomato soup. I added 2 tbsp cinnamon and more cumin also some cayenne pepper for some spice. I left out the cilantro and peppers according to my own preference. Mine turned out PERFECT so I will be adding my own recipe, but thought I should rate this since I used this as a base recipe. Thanks!

Dull, bland, no spice no kick. We had to add half the spice cabinet to make this taste like anything but tomato.

This is a pretty good and not too sweet Mole sauce. Mine turned out a bit thicker than I like, but all in all pretty good. My husband - who turned his nose up when he saw me putting chocolate in chicken, even liked it. I just used seasoned and baked then shredded chicken breast and it was perfect over rice flavored with lime, garlic and cilantro.
