Easy Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows or 15 large marshmallows
1/3 cup milk
36 milk chocolate kisses or 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/8 tsp almond extract
4 milk chocolate kisses, optional

Directions:

1. Heat marshmallows and milk in a small saucepan over low heat stirring continually until marshmallows melt, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Chop chocolate kisses, add to marshmallow mixture in saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring continually until chocolate melts, about 2 minutes, let stand at room temperature until cooled.

3. Beat whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff. Set half aside. Fold the chocolate mixture into half of the whipped cream. Spoon into 4 parfait or dessert glasses.

4. Fold almond extract into remaining whipped cream: spoon onto chocolate mixture. Top each serving with a chocolate kiss.

5. Chill until serving time.


-When melting the chocolate, spray sides of saucepan with cooking spray, then the chocolate will slide right out.
-Makes a great lunch time snack. Just pour it into tupperware unstead of parfait glasses.
