Godiva of a Chocolate Mouse....

So, I've been sick the last few days. Just starting to eat things now. My hubby bought me chocolate pudding. But after seeing that Godiva has chocolate mouse recipes...ONLINE...I'm not sure the store bought pudding is going to cut it anymore. Here's one of the recipes. Happy cooking everyone this weekend. Enjoy!


Chocolate Hazelnut Pots De Crème:

    * Yield: 6 servings
    * Difficulty: *Easy
    * Preparation: 30 minutes plus chilling time

2 teaspoons Frangelico
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweetened Whipped Cream:

1/2 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts

Make the Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Crème:
  1. Combine half-and-half, chocolate and sugar in small heavy saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the mixture reaches a full boil and thickens.
