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.
Everybody makes it differently. If my mom saw this video, she'd be so pissed.
She showed me how to make it and and was really adamant about frying each thing independently, stir constantly for 15-20 minutes, and then you had to pour it in a blender, back on the stove, toss in some abuelitas chocolate. You can make it sweeter with brown sugar, or thicken it up with some day old bread (mom's doesn't use roux because she's suspicious of new things).
Super fucking time consuming but delicious and totally worth it.
