For xmas this year I got a dinner party game called Death By Chocolate and I'd love to play it over a 3 course meal, each dish containing chocolate. Dessert is easy. Does anyone have suggestions for entree and Main dishes contaning chocolate?

Would a fruity fondue be better as a entree or dessert?

Seems like in Mexico there is a dish (mole?) that is a soup or stew that has chocolate in it, along w/ pork or beef.
Chili is often made w/ chocolate as well.
Maybe for an appetizer, do a baby green vinaigrette salad w/ toasted walnuts, tomatoes, blue cheese, and a few slivers of white chocolate.

The Main dish could be chicken mole, and an appetizer could be chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Chicken Mole Bake
Makes 8 servings. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 1 hour.
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken breasts (cut into serving-size pieces)
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken thighs
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 cup mole (such as Dona Maria or Goya or another brand) (see Notes)
2 cups fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds (see Notes)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
HEAT oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken on a rack coated with cooking spray in a shallow baking dish lined with foil. Coat chicken with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until juices run clear.
HEAT oil in a 2-quart pan. Stir in mole and heat 1 minute; stir constantly. Gradually add broth; stir to dissolve mole. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer (with lid slightly ajar) about 45 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove chicken from oven and transfer to serving plate. Top with some of the mole mixture, the almonds and sesame seeds. Serve with remaining mole mixture.
NOTES: Mole is a classic Mexican sauce made from a blend of dried chilies, spices, nuts and seeds, used to stew or cook poultry or meat. There are many variations, but the best known is the chocolate mole or mole poblano, which is often served with chicken. Mole verde is a pale green, thick sauce made from ground pumpkin seeds, green tomatoes, lettuce leaves and fresh herbs. To toast almonds, heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a flat baking sheet and bake 5 to 8 minutes or until golden.

"Chicken Mole" is one of the Mexican dishes that combines the traditional indigenous foods of the Aztecs and Mayas, like chocolate, corn, tomato, avocado, beans and chile peppers, with the meats, rice and garlic brought to Mexico by the Spanish conquistadores. It can be as spicy as you and your friends are comfortable with and the unsweetened cocoa adds a nice depth of flavor.
