In the Spirit of the Holiday
So in the event that you don't have a dessert planed for the holiday, then you are in luck. Below is a wonderful and quite easy recipe for chocolate mousse. I found it on http://www.marsbrightideas.com/. It is a website full of easy kid friendly ideas using M&M Mars products. Check it and the following recipe out.

Red's Chocolate Moose

What you'll need:

  • 1 bag DOVE Brand Milk or Dark Chocolate Hearts
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or other pure extract such as orange or almond)

What to do:

  • Place 50 DOVE Brand Milk or Dark Chocolate Hearts in a heatproof bowl. Heat one cup whipping cream until hot, but not boiling. Pour cream over chocolate and stir until chocolate is completely melted. Cool to room temperature. Whip remaining cup of cream with sugar and vanilla or other extract until fluffy with soft peaks. Gently fold into cooled chocolate until well blended.
  • Pour into individual parfait glasses or cups and chill at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, decorate each dessert cup with a dollop of whipped cream and one or two unwrapped DOVE Brand Milk or Dark Chocolate Hearts.
  • Makes 2 parfait glasses.

The recipe actually makes about 6 small (custard cup size) servings for those who just have a small sweet tooth.
