Mole Sauce

What is mole and where does it come from? There are so many ingredients in mole that it is truly a labor of love to make it. For that reason a lot of people buy it already made and then enhance it with their personal touch, but there is such a thing as a place that will make it to your family specifications! It is called a Molino.The smell inside that place is incredibly delicious! Mole is prepared with dried chile peppers (commonly ancho, pasilla, mulato and chipotle), ground nuts and/or seeds (almonds, indigenous peanuts, and/or sesame seeds), spices, Mexican chocolate (cacao ground with sugar and cinnamon and occasionally nuts), salt, and a variety of other ingredients including charred avocado leaves, onions, garlic. We even took some on our camping trip and had fireside enchiladas with mole...WoW!
