    I found this recipe by doing a search on "Pork Tenderloin" with a five-star rating. It satisfied the quest for something different for dinner--not only is it deliciously different, it's sooo easy too! I will definitely make this again.

    We were having steak for dinner, but I wanted a new taste from the same old salt and pepper. I tried the cocoa rub and it worked great! Give it a go, especially if you have leftovers of the rub!

    I didn't care for this seasoning rub. The cooking method resulted in a moist, juicy tenderloin, but the rub was just strange. Not sure why everybody else loves it. I do like all the ingredients separately, but felt that it was just a bit too cinnamon-y. I will say that I used significantly less salt as most of the reviewers recommended. I think there is a big difference between toasting/grinding the whole spices and just using already ground spices like some reviewers did. The toasting of whole spices might have created a more 'earthy' flavor. Not every recipe can be a winner.

    I tried this once and liked it, I've tried it twice and love it. This is great. I didn't think I would like Chocolate used this way, but this is delicious. It was a hit was the entire family from my 59 year old husband down to my 4 year old granddaughter.

    This was a great spice rub. I used pork loin chops, seared them, and finished them in the oven and they were great. Can't wait to try the rub on other things.

    One of the best (and easiest! recipes I've tried in some time. And too salty? No way - it's the perfect combination of flavors.

    I made the rub and used it on London Broil (I already had it at home. This was incredibly easy to make but my dinner guests thought it was the best ever. The cocoa caramelized nicely and gave it a great finish.
