4. Drain the chiles and add them to the simmering pot. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.
5. Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the peanut butter and dark chocolate, then blend until smooth.
6. Pour the sauce back into the pot and let it simmer for another 15 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
7. Your Authentic Mole Sauce Marinade is now ready to use. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats or can be used as a savory sauce for enchiladas.
