It was okay maybe mine cooked too long because it was dry. The next time I prepare a dish like this I will check the temp every 30 minutes.The cocoa flavor on meat I will have to adapt to, I like to try different dishes. I will perpare again.

Made this last night for friends. Was amazing! Was skeptical at first with Cocoa...when rubbing it on thought it was toom much but I followed the recipe and put all the rub on. I agree, it just seemed to sit in the marinade and I thought maybe I should have scored it to get a better soak...but again...follow the recipe. It was just full of flavor and moist. Great recipe!!

This was really good, we did not have enough left to have a second meal so I made egg foo young and gravy was incredible with the cocoa pork seasoning, I didn't even have to had my usual gravy seasonings.

Having lived in Germany for a number of years, I've eaten a lot of pork preparations. This was phenomenal. Sure it's a weird concept at first, but the result is delicious.

I used two smaller pork roasts but I still thought the flavor was overpowering. When you rub the cocoa mixture all over it seems like dry brownie mix and was very messy. Then the liquid just kind of sat in the bottom of the bowl while marinating- I dont know if the orange juice actually was able to soak into the meat. When it said to dry the roast before putting in the oven, none of the coating really came off- it was pretty dark. It may work differenly with one large roast. Although the pork inside was okay, the crusty exterior was too strong for me.

This is a wonderful recipe, it is simple and delicious, moist and flavorful, I served to my guesses, at the end of the meal, they all thought that I served beef roasted.
Thanks Aida for a wonderful recipe.

This recipe is very simple and easy to make. It has very bold flavors which balance each other out. I made this for a party of about 25 guests (made 3 butts. Very well liked, some couldn't believe they were eating pork.

This recipe was absolutely delicious...and very forgiving. My supermarket didn't have boneless pork, so I made it with a bone in cut. The flavors of the rub work really well together. The cocoa adds warmth without sweetness and really complements the orange flavor. Even my 14-year -old son loved it! This will be a regular on our menu. And it was really quite easy to make.

Cooking on a high was not a good idea, the roast looked burnt. If I make this again I will cook on 450 for about 15 min then 325 for a little longer time. I used a meat thermometer. I was a littile disapointed in the flavor, also would have used garlic and 1-2 tablespoons of orange zest and a little more salt.

This was delicious. It took a little longer to cook than in the recipe, but it could have been because of my oven. This would be excellent for a main Christmas course.
