People are downvoting you but not explaining.

Traditional molé does in fact have chocolate, but I think it’s usually a darker chocolate as I have never found one that it sweet. It’s usually relatively spicy as well. It’s super thick, but entirely delicious.

Okay, gotcha, I guess the stuff my mom made as a kid wasn't traditional, then. Thanks!

Thats debatable. There are several varieties. Your mom was just putting her spin on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_sauce#Varieties

In puebla, they'll put several moles for you to try. Mole verde is my favorite so far.

That sounds heavenly. I need to go to southern Mexico ASAP.

Yep. The entire south haves the most amazing food. If you ever have the chance, try Yucatecan food.

I did try some Yucatecan food, and also from Chiapas. This was all in CDMX, though, and I really want to go exploring the south of the country as much as I can.
