Perfect with good quality chocolate
Very good. Quick and easy to make.
This recipe was incredible it makes about 6 servings (depends on deriving size) and everyone at my house enjoyed this it was so fun to add the worms that is something I’ve never seen before the only thing that concerned me was the egg maybe you didn’t think about it but eggs shouldn’t be eaten raw so I am debating weather to use this again but over all so yummy
Super easy and delish! Milk chocolate make it sweet but not to sweet!
I’ve used this recipe several times. Everyone raves about it!
Excellent mousse. Everyone loved it. Make 5 generous servings
Supper easy and delicious! Made this for some friends their kids. The kids loved the gummy worm part, and everyone loved the chocolate mousse part!
Been using this recipe for months, went to search it today and Google wouldn’t show me this page, and I didn’t remember the website… but I remembered you’re the only person I’ve seen put gummy worms on top when you serve, so I searched images for chocolate mousse, found the image you put with this recipe, and clicked the link. That is what I am willing to go through for this recipe. Love it, comes out wonderful whether I’m using milk chocolate, dark, semi-sweet, and even white. Love it love it love it!!!!
