Holy Mole!

The Viceroy is coming! The Viceroy is coming! The people in the monastery must scurry around and prepare food that will impress the most important man in the colony of Mexico.

And so they do, but in the midst of making five different sauces and two desserts, a young boy who works around the monastery collides with the cooks and—Oh no!—everything is accidentally mixed together. And the Viceroy will soon arrive. What a mess!

But is it a mess? Can good things come from bad?

A lovely little story based on an old folktale from Mexico that explains the origin of molé, a thick savory sauce containing chocolate that is served atop chicken or turkey!
