This sauce is the perfect balance of flavors. It's not too spicy, not too sweet, and not too savory.

This sauce was a complete disaster! It was too spicy, too runny, and it had a weird aftertaste. I don't recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some of the spices.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out a bit too runny. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I'll probably try making it again with less chili powder.
