How to Make MOLE POBLANO from Scratch The BEST Step-by-Step Recipe + SECRET TIPS!!!

Earlier this month I impulsively bought the largest bag of Halloween chocolates I’ve ever seen at Costco and by depriving kids of their handouts have spent the last four weeks nearly eating the entire bag by myself. So what do you do when you run out of a month’s supply of chocolate? Get more! But this time it’s the complex rich mole Poblano.

Mole is a term that encompasses many different sauces in Mexico but mole Poblano a thick and savory chili and chocolate sauce from the state of Puebla is the closest synonym for "mole" worldwide. This sauce usually contains twenty or more ingredients many of which require their own preparation and the whole thing takes many hours to fully complete.

There are quick-cook recipes but I wanted the experience of a full day of actual mole making. Normally I tweak recipes as I go but with such a long process to get to a final product this didn’t seem possible. So I turned to my trusted source for Mexican cooking Rick Bayless to guide me on my mole adventure.
