DEATH BY CHOCOLATE

At my home, chocolate reigns supreme.

I like chocolate but not to the extent that my husband and sons do.

My youngest son graduates today from college

and he asked me to make one of his favorite desserts.

It's very easy to make and delicious.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

Brownie mix

4 tablespoons of strong coffee

Mousse***

16 oz. Cool Whip

 8 regular size Heath Bars

Chocolate syrup

DIRECTIONS

Bake the brownie mix according to the directions on the box and cool completely.  Poke holes and pour the coffee over the brownies.  Let it set for 20 minutes or longer.

*** MOUSSE

12 oz chocolate chips

1 cup scalding hot milk

1/2 cup sugar

3 to 4 tablespoons rum or rum flavoring

3 eggs

In a bowl combine the chocolate chips and sugar.  Pour the hot milk over the chocolate chips and sugar to melt.  After melting, pour into a blender and add rum/rum flavoring and eggs.  Mix until complete blended.  Pour into a bowl and and refrigerate until completely set.  Approximately 2 hours.

Take your Heath bars and crush them.  I use a my food processor.  It's okay if some are not finely chopped.

In a large glass bow, crumble 1/3 of the brownies into the bowl, add 1/3 of the mousse, add 1/3 of the Cool Whip, top with 1/3 cracked Heath bar and drizzle chocolate syrup.  Continue two more times so to have three layers.  

For the best results, refrigerate overnight to intensify the flavor.
