Wow this was delicious! A different and unique sauce from what I'm use to making. My family loved it. I used honey and just a few dashes of hot sauce. I used it with Hoisin Chicken and I have a little left over to make something else in a couple days. I will be making this again.

I was so thankful to have found this recipe-I ran out of store-bought and needed it for Stir-fried Zucchini With Hoisin Sauce. I used molasses and hot chili garlic sauce and it was delicious! Thank you for a great recipe!!!

I needed some hoisin sauce to make Chicken With Cranberry-Hoisin Sauce so I decided to make my own and found your recipe. It is an ingredient-friendly, easy-fix w/an authentic flavor. I used peanut butter and Tobasco for the hot sauce. Thx for sharing your recipe. I cannot imagine buying hoisin sauce again when this is so easy and good.

Tried this out a few nights ago with a duck dish. Used the posted ingredients and was adding and mixing away before realizing I had no peanut butter .. oh no. Used 1 tablespoon spoon of tahini instead. Recipe is a keeper! PS, I used brewed soy sauce.

This recipe was a life saver! It was delightful to discover that I had all the ingredients for this sauce in my pantry and it took no time at all to whip up a batch. Mine came out a little runnier and lighter than the sauce I buy, but it worked out well for the recipe I was using it for (Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps). Thank you for a great recipe!

This saved me in a pinch. Just got back from the grocery store and was making lunch, not realizing I was out of hoison sauce (making Quick Asian-Style Wrap Sandwiches ). Worked great! I used the peanut butter and molasses and cut the recipe way back since I only needed 1 1/2 T. Thanks for posting this!

This was excellent! Made it with peanut butter. I used some red pepper flakes instead of hot sauce because I was out of it...and I forgot to add the honey, but it was still great. Thanks!

This is delicious. I used the black bean paste and honey. It was a little too spicy for my son, so next time I'll cut back on the hot sauce. Thanks for posting!

Holy cow... beyond perfection. So, so, so right. Thanks for sharing a spectacular recipe! Yummy!

Add a clove of minced garlic and this is perfect!

This is just what I needed for my egg rolls. I know the hoisin sauce I've purchased is a little darker, but I'm thinking black beans & molasses instead of the honey and peanut butter would take care of that. I used the honey and PB, as that's what I had on hand. This is very tasty and will work great! Thanks for posting
