Ingredients
- 8 oz. semisweet Bakers® chocolate, chopped
- 2 (8-oz.) containers whipped topping
- Basic Chocolate Mousse:
- 1/2 cup of toasted coconut, slivered nuts, or crushed candy
- Malted Chocolate Mousse:
- 1/3 cup malted milk powder
- 1/2 cup Whoppers candies, crushed
- Chocolate Amaretto Mousse:

Directions
Place chocolate in a large microwaveable bowl. Melt in microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir chocolate until smooth. Once chocolate cools, add 1 cup of Cool Whip to the chocolate, stirring quickly. Continue folding in the rest of the Cool Whip in 2 batches, until there are no visible streaks. Divide mousse into thirds.
Basic Chocolate Mousse: Place one-third of the mousse into a medium-size zip-locking plastic bag, cut off one corner, and pipe mousse onto 6 spoons, about 1 tablespoon per spoon. Top with your favorite toping, such as toasted coconut, slivered nuts, or crushed candy.
For Malted Chocolate Mousse: Fold malted milk powder into one-third of the mousse. Place mixture in a medium-size zip-locking plastic bag. Pipe onto 6 spoons and top with crushed whoppers.
For Chocolate Amaretto Mousse: Fold Amaretto into one-third of the mousse. Place mixture in a medium-size zip-locking plastic bag. Pipe onto 6 spoons and top with toasted almond slivers.
With chocolate mousse this good and this easy, you can give your guests a delicious start to the new year!
