Cocoa-rubbed ribs

“There are so many choices for chocolate on the barbeque,” states Spencer Watts, who devotes an full episode of Watts on the Grill to the strategy. His suggestions include a barbecue traditional: ribs. “Most people enjoys ribs on the barbeque, sweet, succulent smoky ribs, they are just mouth watering.
