Chocolate Ancho Rub

Chocolate Mole has been a staple in Central American cooking since chocolate was first discovered.  Today we think of chocolate usually in a sweet context, like a Cake, Pudding, Chocolate Truffles or other Chocolate treat.  The richness of chocolate mixed with the earthy, dried fruit flavors from dried ancho chilies adds a unique twist on this Chocolate Ancho Rub.

While this recipe was designed to be used with beef brisket to create a Smoked Beef Brisket with Chocolate Ancho Rub, this rub can also be used on a Beer Brined Chicken (substituting the beer for a darker stout, porter or brown ale) or sprinkled over slices of sweet potato, eggplant and cauliflower steaks to create a wonderful flavor to vegetables.

This recipe can also be packaged into 3 eight ounce jars to be given away as gifts.
