Homemade mole sauce recipe ?

[friesian_rain]

I would like to make some pork enchiladas in mole sauce, using SHREDDED PORK FROM MY PORK BUTTS I DID IN MY NEW WSM ! ooops sorry, I'm just still excited about getting my WSM !

Anyway, I usually use jarred Mole (Dona Maria), but would love to try to make my own mole sauce; anybody ever make it from scratch and have a recipe to share?

Thank you ! I gave up looking at recipes for mole sauce... too many of them ! LOL But this one sounds just right.
Do you follow the recipe exactly or do you tweak it a bit?

Only thing I do different is use Mexican chocolate. Most super markets have in in the baking section.
