The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by adding a little bit of chili powder.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of sour cream.

This dish was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used dark chocolate instead of semisweet, and it gave the sauce a nice depth of flavor.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of chocolate in savory dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chocolate added a subtle sweetness to the mole sauce that really complemented the chicken.
