What is No way? Molé! – Mexican Sauce?

No way? Molé! - Mexican Sauce - Bumblebee Cottage Cornwall

No way? Molé! is our take on a much loved Mexican mole sauce. It is a savoury chocolate and chilli sauce made without the traditional nuts or seeds, but with plenty of cocoa and the chilli hit you would expect from us.

It is designed as a pourable cooking and finishing sauce for nachos, quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, roasted vegetables and rich slow cooked dishes.
