Mexico is native soil for cacao trees. As far back as anthropologists can determine, the civilizations that have lived here have used the cacao plant as an integral part of their culture. Though the methods and ingredients have changed over time, the close interaction of chocolate within Mexican culture harkens back to the use of cacao plants by the earlier native Mayan and Aztec civilizations. Traditional Mexican recipes routinely incorporate chocolate. Though recipes vary, the mole sauce is usually a mix of chilies, spices, fruits, nuts, and cocoa and is served most traditionally with turkey.
