This stuff is the BOMB! Dark, Gritty, Sweet, with a bite of cinnamon! We doan need no stinking Hershey's!!! Makes great hot chocolate, great mole, or just savor it by itself as actual "Chocolate Para Mesa."
My mole recipe: 1/2 cup flour or corn starch, 1/2 cup cooking oil, 1 Ibarra disc, 1/4 cup minced garlic, 2 Tbsp onion powder, 1 Tbsp cumin powder, 2 Tbsp Chili powder, 1 Tbsp salt, 1/4 cup tequila, 1/2 cup Amontillado (or 1/3 cup merlot and 2 Tbsp brandy). Make rue out of flour and oil, add garlic and spices, stir until blended smoothly. Separately melt/dissolve disc in tequila and wine over moderate heat (do not burn!). Combine chocolate/alcohol mix with spiced rue and allow to slowly cook down to desired consistency and thickness. Serve over meat and rice.Get more detail about Ibarra Mexican Chocolate, 18.6 oz.
