Barbeque sauce is an absolute must when grilling, not only does it give delicious flavor to any cut of meat, but it also gives off an aroma that opens the appetite immediately. Fortunately, there are many kinds in the market to give variety to our meals. However, making it at home gives us the opportunity to create our own flavors and amounts at a very low cost. In this case, we're creating BBQ sauce with chocolate. You might think it's a somewhat strange combination, I thought that too at first, but I told myself why not create a barbecue sauce with it? If you recall, the mole, another famous Mexican salsa uses chocolate as an ingredient too. In this sauce I combined several flavors that ultimately made a sweet and deep mixture. The smoky flavor of chipotle powder with the sweetness of the orange juice and vinegar, plus the delicious taste of chocolate combine in this dark, thick treat that will give a new flavor to your barbecue.
