Easy Life Meal and Party Planning: Sweetheart Mousse Cups & The Best Love Song

Sweetheart Mousse Cups - Easy Life Meal & Party Planning - Pretty Valentine candy cups filled with light Chocolate Mousse

Pretty Valentine candy cups filled with a light Chocolate Mouse will put a spark in your Valentine dinner or parties.

I have tried all types of mousse recipes over the years but this is my very favorite by Betty Crocker. The only change I made was to make it a milder chocolate taste.

Candy Cup Mold - Easy Life Meal & Party Planning

I used candy cup molds and white & red molding chips melted and swirled together with a toothpick. The hearts are free-handed with melted chocolate chips colored with pink icing gel.
