Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse

This has got to be the absolute best Chocolate Mousse recipe I have ever tasted!  It "used" to be my husband's secret recipe from his youth days in Belgium that he would make whenever friends and family would come for dinner.  

No matter what I'd make for dessert, my husband's Chocolate Mousse would always steal the show.  Seriously!  While I would slave in the kitchen forever just to make a fancy dessert, he would simply come home from work and whip this up within minutes. It would be setting in the refrigerator as guests arrived and ready to eat once it was time for dessert.

I finally got my husband to share his recipe after our tenth year together and I've been making this ever since.

Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Cups

There's nothing better than peanut butter!  Combine that with chocolate, and we're talking some serious tastiness!

Below is a recipe that my daughter came up with.  She made some of these peanut butter cups with dark chocolate for her sister and some with milk chocolate for the two of us.   The dark chocolate shell hardened better, while the milk chocolate melted in our hands, but that didn't matter because we ate them so quickly.


We used our favourite Compliments Peanut Butter.  Sobey's sells this for $5.99 for a 1 Kg jar.  1 Tbsp (15g) serving has 80 calories, 5 grams of fat, 7 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein.  Sugar's not too bad either at 2 grams.
