Rinse chiles; pat dry with paper towels. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add chiles. Fry 5 minutes, turning constantly. Drain on paper towels. Process chiles and about ¾ cup water in a blender until pureed, adding more water if needed. Press through a sieve to eliminate peel. Process onion, garlic and tomato in blender until smooth. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pot or Dutch oven. Stir bread, tortilla and almonds in oil until browned, but not burned. Add bread mixture, sesame seeds, raisins, cloves, peppercorns, anise seeds and cinnamon to onion mixture. Process until pureed, adding about 2 tablespoons water. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a clean pot or Dutch oven. Add pureed onion mixture. Stir over medium heat 10 minutes. Add chile puree. Cook and stir 5 minutes. Gradually stir in 4 cups chicken broth. Stir in chocolate and sugar until dissolved. Add salt to taste. Cover and simmer 1 hour 45 minutes. Uncover and cook 30 minutes longer or until thickened slightly. Use immediately or refrigerate.
