To make this easy mole sauce
Heat large skillet on stove with burner set to low. Empty jar of mole into skillet. (It's a thick paste, so it's helpful to use a butter knife to get it out.) Add 4 cups of chicken broth and raise heat to medium high. Stir and break up pieces of paste until it's dissolved into chicken broth. The sauce will begin to thicken as it cooks. Break Mexican chocolate into smaller pieces using a serrated knife, then add chocolate to pan and let it melt into the sauce. Add in peanut butter. Lower heat and stir continually until all the ingredients are melted in and you're left with a smooth sauce. Enjoy this delicious mole sauce while it's hot.
*Mole thickens as it cooks, so cook longer for a thicker sauce, or add more chicken broth or water if you like it more runny.
