Our good friend Jenny Posey, owner and Chocolatier at the amazing Hedonist Artisan Chocolates in Rochester created a delicious cocoa rub she made for steaks one night. It's inspired by a bottle she had of our Maximilien. Her rub as well as the rest of their amazing chocolates are available on her website HedonistChocolates.com. This recipe is a variation of her rub that I use on ribs. Vegetarians: It's great on sweet potatoes, too!

  • 2 Racks of Pork Baby Back Ribs
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tbsps Garlic Powder
