Welcome! If you’re new to my blog, we’re enjoying the last day of an incredible weeklong event that takes place each fall called #Choctoberfest! This has been another amazing year for this chocolate fest that’s organized by Allison of The PinterTest Kitchen, in which there are over 70 bloggers worldwide participating, creating over 200 recipes for everyone to enjoy!
And that’s not all! There’s also an enormous Prize Package that’s being given away that you can enter to win, also!! (Details below!)
This is my fifth and final recipe, and I am again using a very high quality product by Rodelle! I decided to go savory for this one, and used their Gourmet Baking Cocoa to create some rich and decadent, melt-in-your-mouth, fall-off-the-bone tender, Chocolate Chipotle Barbecued Ribs!
Though we were sent product to use for this event, believe me when I say, this cocoa powder is outstanding. I have a very high opinion of this product, and now I can’t even imagine using anything else!!
I used this magical chocolate cocoa powder in both the rub, as well as the homemade Chocolate Chipotle Barbecue Sauce, and…just…wow.
My hubby raved and raved over these!!
The ribs smelled incredible slow-roasting in the oven!! At one point, I had to just walk away from the kitchen, because the aromas were driving me crazy!!
You wanna talk about some serious ribs!!!!!!
And that sauce…OH. My god. (I could SELL this stuff…)
Juicy, tender, succulent baby back ribs slathered with that AMAZING barbecue that’s bar none!!!
THIS. Yep. This right here.
One of my best, if not THE best, rib recipes I have created so far!!
And I’m certain, that they would not have been quite as good without the help of Rodelle’s Gourmet Baking Powder. Not kidding.
I don’t normally push products, and only let people know what I have used and what works best for my husband and I personally. But if I was ever to seriously suggest a product…this would be it!!!
So if you’re looking for a great rib recipe, or even just a killer barbecue sauce, you just found it!!!
These would be perfect for a Halloween Party, as well as all the upcoming tailgating and Super Bowl parties, too!!!
So do make sure you SAVE this one!!! It’s a keeper!! Hope you enjoy!
Also, don’t forget to enter the Giveaway on my Main Event Post {here} for your chance to win this incredible Prize Pack! Go check it out and see what all you can win! It’s really quite an amazing prize package!!!

*Tip! I always add a can of chipotle peppers into my mini chopper and blend it all together into a sauce. I then add it into a ziplock baggie and freeze. Then, when I need some, I simply break off what I need. It's all blended together and so very easy to measure and simple to use!

One of these days I need to try using chocolate in a barbecue rub. I keep seeing it, but haven't had the nerve. These ribs look amazing.

Oh, Karen! I do hope you try it soon! I add baking cocoa as well as dark chocolate to so many things! Have been for many, many years actually! (Barbecue sauces, chili, gravies, Mexican mole!) It really adds richness and a deep flavor that's fantastic! You're going to love it! :)
