Chocolate and pork chops?? Yes, please!! This had the makings of a fancy meal that I could throw together pretty quickly... LOVE IT!! The kids also ate it up, so that is a true bonus. What a great savory meal any day of the week!

Sprinkle pork shops with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chops in oil over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160. Remove and keep warm. Add the coffee, steak sauce, molasses, garlic powder and thyme to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Whisk in chocolate until melted.
