Mexican Mole

Mexican Mole is a cocoa and chile-based blend designed to build a rich, layered sauce. Roasted chiles provide deep, earthy heat, while Dutch cocoa adds dark, bittersweet depth. Toasted sesame seeds bring a subtle nuttiness without peanuts, and Ceylon cinnamon, anise, and cloves add warm spice. Use it to make mole paste for chicken, pork, or vegetables, or stir into enchiladas, rice, beans, or chili.
