I know Old-Man-Winter was kind to us this year, but I was still glad to see homeboy go. And as much as I really love summer, what I love more is air conditioning. I like the idea of being able to to go out and do things in the warm weather, but I LOVE the idea of coming back into my house that will be cool.  I am severely allergic to sweating indoors.  I think that’s why the gym and I have always tried to avoid each other. So with summer just around the corner I decided to give you a treat guaranteed to not help you at all with your swimsuit situation. I’m not a good friend.  I get it.

Let’s get started. People will think you’re super fancy serving them these cute little treats.  I mean any dessert with the word “mousse” in it seems fancy to me.  It must be the extra “s”. But this mousse is so totally not fancy.  It’s like, really ridiculously easy.

Tips and Tricks on Making Mousse Bombs:

Mix some softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until it’s smooth, then fold in some Cool Whip. That’s it. Now, since were getting all chocolate chippy today you might want to chop up some chocolate chip cookies and fold them into your fancy mousse. AND I’m not even gonna tell you to make your own cookies. I mean, you can if you WANT…but seriously, Chips Ahoy or Keebler will do the trick. So look what you have… Let this stuff chill for a bit.  Stick it in the fridge and go do some laundry.  No?  Read a book?  A magazine?  Facebook?  Whatever. Now, fear not, but some assembly is required here. You’ll need some more cookies, a small scooper and some melted chocolate. Place your cookies on a flat surface… …and using the scooper, blob a scoop of the mousse on top, gently pressing so the mousse sticks to the cookie.  Make sure you press it down so it sticks to the cookie, this will make a huge difference when you go to dip. Then dip the mousse into melted chocolate, covering completely.  The process is similar to making Hi Hat Cupcakes. Please, friends, don’t worry if it’s not pretty.  I get loads of emails asking “how to make your melted chocolate smooth”.  Well, it involves shortening and a lot of tapping.  If you don’t have patience for all the tapping, I say garnish.  Yep, just garnish the heck of out of it. Enter mini chocolate chips. That’s it!  Let the chocolate set up in the fridge and then they’re ready to eat!
