I too am a Dona Maria mole nuevo. Took a tablespoon, diluted with water
and heated it. The taste: a big flat whang. I'm thinking that cocoa was
the dominant flavor and maybe needed salt which broth instead of water
might have supplied. Don't know about sugar since you don't want hersey
sauce. Maybe a tad.

I'll admit learning a new taste is tough for me. I want mole to be
rounder and richer, but I may be expecting any dark sauce to taste like
A-1 or Worcestershire. Not much of a global experience that way.

I'll just heat up a bottle, tinker with it until. . . , then plop in a
couple of browned chicken breasts for a simmer til done. Wednesday:
chicken and tart salad greens with garam masala dressing; Thursday:
ropa viejo over noodles with a fahita sauce; Friday: chicken mole. I'm
trying.
