Dark and White Chocolate Mousse

Dark and White Chocolate Mousse – rich, creamy, dark chocolate and white chocolate mousse is a just-right dessert for a party, especially when served in bite-sized portions!

Today we are about ALL THE CHOCOLATE.

Creamy, chocolate mousse… dark chocolate mousse…white chocolate mousse… all the chocolate dreams coming true.

We have a Halloween Masquerade Party coming up in a few weeks –> note: Halloween is in a few weeks – just a friendly reminder for those of us on the “where does time go?” train.  Anyway, I jumped in on planning this party late, and more-or-less threw myself into the menu planning part of the party (are you surprised?).

Can you guess what’s on the menu?  Well, besides the almighty Pumpkin Bars and 5-Minute Caramel Apple Dip…?  Yep, you guessed it, Dark and White Chocolate Mousse – in SPOONS!

Let’s take a minute and talk about these spoons.  They’re amazing.  So adorable and the best way to serve appetizers or dessert at a party.  They’re really just Wonton Soup Spoons that have the flat bottom.  This makes it so easy to set them out on a tray with whatever bite-sized portion of deliciousness you’re serving up.

More specifically: chocolate mousse.

For our formal masquerade party, the gold sprinkles were added to have a little elegant flare to the mousse.  You could absolutely jazz it up with any other Halloween themed decorations you want, or leave it out all together.

Most important part though: the mousse.  It’s rich and creamy and oh-so-guest-worthy.  It’s one of those knock-your-socks off desserts that’s going to impress to the nines.  And luck be to you, it’s fairly easy to make!

You just need a little time for the mousse to chill after you’ve melted the chocolate, and folded in the whipped cream.  If you’re interested in doing a little ying-and-yang to serve the black and white mousse, be sure to chill each one separately in piping bags.
