"Awhile back I was at a friends house who made this BBQ sauce. It was pretty good, and different. I would not use this as a complete replacement for good old BBQ sauce, but every once and while, or for a get together to offer more than one choice. I have not personally made it, but he gave me the recipe which I will share here. He said just don't buy Baker's chocolate or use cheap chocolate."
