Holy Mole! As delicious as it was easy. Guests loved it –Jane Williams

The core of a traditional mole sauce is made from a variety of dried chilies, carefully toasted to bring out their smoky essence. The chilies are then ground into a fine powder, creating a deep, earthy base that forms the foundation of the sauce. The complex flavor profile is further enhanced by the addition of spices such as cinnamon, cumin, and cloves, each contributing its own aromatic charm.
