Yes, Black Pepper. My pepper grinder has a handle so I guess "3 crancks" would be like 3 pinches or a few smidges. ½ tsp? LOL

Done correctly a mole is heavenly when combine with other flavors.   I have also had some TERRIBLE mole sauces.   Based on previous experience this recipe looks really solid and I wouldn't hesitate. 
Agreed. Years ago, I would judge a new mexican restaurant on it's Mole. That didn't last long. A few too many "chicken drenched in pumpkin seed sauces" for me. There are faaaar more bad mole's than good. But when it's good.... Oh man is it great.

just add chocolate ?
 
Naw, my Mole recipe has a far different ingredients list. Similar but totally different. When I made this BBQ sauce, I was inspired by the "sweet heat" balance that my Mole has. When that balance is achieved, it's magical. This BBQ sauce could stand a bit more heat, left to the individual. I would suggest making it as is, then seeing how much more heat you might want. Like I said, it's great on grilled chicken, like a nice finishing sauce, or smoked turkey breast. Grilled wings tossed in a sauce pan until the sauce gets thick and the wings are well coated with the sticky goodness. Yum-OH.
