"Delicious and easy to make. I used fresh chopped tomatoes and two bay leaves, in addition to the dark coco powder...the large jalepeno was added for subtle heat TIP: leave as one piece and do not open..." See more, this way the taste and not the heat is released from the pepper. Little ones may now enjoy this recipe too!"
