Something Sweet
If you've been reading this blog for any amount of time at all, you know about my Sweet Tooth. Well, about an hour ago I decided I needed some chocolate. I know "need" is a strong word, but I feel it's appropriate here. So, I went digging in the dark dwellings of the pantry and remembered I had this box of Nestle Mousse Mix. European Style, it says. Product of France. It must be good then.
All you need is the box and some milk, and 3 minutes later you've got mousse! And then I read the fine print that recommended you chill it for an hour before serving. An HOUR?? Are you kidding me? That's a lifetime when you need chocolate. Needless, to say, I did not chill it. Quite frankly, it was all I could do to take these pictures before taking a bite.
This is all you need. Easy and quick. I added a strawberry on top because I thought it just needed a little something. It's tasty and well worth having on hand for those times of need.
And......speaking of strawberries...... do you see the little pink strawberry up there in the address bar? If you use Internet Explorer, you have to add this blog to your Favorites in order to view it. It's called a favicon (you probably know this already). Isn't it cute?
Ok, off to share my mousse with a certain small little someone who will love it!




Yum! That looks incredible.

hey, we chocoholics understand...when ya gotta have it, ya gotta have it NOW. :) One of my fave indulgences is hot chocolate pudding (not instant, but the cook & serve) with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or cool whip...OMG!

That looks really good! My husband is out right now at 8:00 at night picking up my to go order from my favorite seafood restaurant. (I've been craving seafood....odd isn't it.) But I may have to call him and ask him to stop by the grocery store too. Hmmmmm....

At least you used low fat milk! How fattening could it be? It certainly photographed beautifully. We have been enjoying your blog for awhile now. Everything is so beautiful!
