"I like the hint of chocolate and sweet spices in this roast. It deepens the roasted, beefy flavor. A Woman's Day Silver Spoon Award winner."

Excellent. I chanced upon this recipe and after reading Sweetpea's review decided to try this recipe with the combination of seasonings along with the chocolate and sweet spices - and yes five stars all the way just as one would expect from a Woman's Day Silver Spoon Award! Thank you nvermd.

The meat lover at our house says five stars and I know he doesn't have a clue what went into this roast. He just knows he likes it. A nice change from tomato based sauces.
