I just have to look at the ingredients label of barbecue sauce and I am motivated to make my own. Filled with chemicals, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives, most store-bought sauces have garbage for ingredients.

That’s not to say I don’t buy barbecue sauce once in a while. It’s a cheap and convenient condiment and there are some good brands out there. However, there is a certain satisfaction in creating something yourself and having control over the ingredients.

One of the ingredients in this recipe is chocolate. Just say the word “chocolate” and my heart flutters. The darker the chocolate, the better. I really like how it adds a seductive layer and depth of flavor to savory dishes.

This sauce doesn’t taste like chocolate but the chocolate compliments the warm spices and sweet tang from the vinegars. I enjoy it with chicken or pork but feel free to try it on any meat. Josh was visiting the other day and used it as a dip for his chips. Whatever floats your boat.
