Delicious! We took a chance and my 10 year old son made these for a house full of guests. (I helped with the cooking part. Everyone was skeptical of "chocolate" pork chops but they were a surprise hit! They were so good, everyone asked my son for the recipe. He was pretty happy about that!

I have always had difficulty cooking pork chops. They usually turn out very dry. These were not only delicious but they were moist as well. Thanks Paula, they were a hit!
