    This simplified version of traditional Chicken Mole is made easier with prepared sauce and extra chocolate cooked in the slow cooker.

    If you are not familiar with Mole (pronounced mo-lay) it is a traditional Mexican dish made with a thick rich sauce made from CHOCOLATE! The history of the dish is iffish according to Mexonline. Regardless of how it got created it is a great part of Mexican culture and it is a delicious and flavorful dish.

    Traditionally the sauce is made with about 20 ingredients and it cooks on the stove for hours, which my mother simplified by opting for a prepared sauce. There is already chocolate in the prepared sauce, but to make it even richer she added even more Mexican chocolate.

    Both the sauce and the chocolate should be easy to find in the Mexican food aisle of any well stocked grocery store. Or you can order online:

    To make this version, just add the sauce and chocolate in your slow cooker with some chicken, beef or pork and let it cook for a few hours. Delicioso!
