Mole is a rich and complex Mexican sauce made from various ingredients, including chili peppers, chocolate, spices, and sometimes even fruit. It's traditionally served warm or hot and is often used as a sauce for dishes like chicken, turkey, or enchiladas. The heat helps to bring out the flavors and aromas of the sauce. However, the specific temperature at which it's served may vary depending on personal preferences and the dish it accompanies.
