Chocolate Chile Chicken Mole (Ole!)

Yesterday my husband and I attended a paleo/primal Mexican themed potluck that was to die for! As it was a small gathering we ate each offering as a single course dish, introduced with ingredients & other details by their respective "chefs." The presentation was sooo appealing and the food delicious beyond expectation.

Thanks to Pinterest, I came across an interesting recipe modified on the Food Blog: Our Life in Food

 Slow Cooker Chocolate Chicken Mole

get recipe from: Our Life in Food

This recipe was a bit difficult to shop for here in Muskoka (especially, uh... last minute) so it is modified even further. :)

Unfortunately, I only had a sweet onion on hand. If I were to repeat I would use a stronger onion. I added the choc chips after it was mostly cooked, as I felt it need to be sweeter. My husband said he preferred it less sweet and felt then that it only needed salt. So, do try it before adding the 72% chocolate to decide if you want to go sweet or salty.

This dish was easy to prepare (apparently not something usually experienced with a Mole) and cooked in a crock pot. 

It presented prettily with diced advocado mixed with shredded cilantro and a swirl of sour cream piped on top.
