I said on Facebook and Twitter, that chocolate can be a spice. Look at Mole sauce, what it it but chocolate. This recipe was inspired by Hotel Hershey. I was watching Travel Channel and they talking about food they serve and yes chocolate is in all the dishes and the most famous is cocoa seared scallops. Talk about a romantic dish, it simply wonderful.
