Notes: This recipe is fast. There are more complicated chocolate mousses, but I was in a rush to the airport to pick someone up, MAC!! I wanted to make a little snack pack (I am always hungry after a flight) and I thought chocolate mousse would be just the thing. It was! It is fluffy, and yummy. Make sure the chocolate is melted and blended or you will get chunks, which doesn’t taste good. Try it out, make it while cooking dinner and serve it to surprise your kids, or someone you love! It’s a good dinner party dessert too.
