grandma's cookbook . . . Easy Chocolate Mousse on National Chocolate Mousse Day

Today is National Chocolate Mousse Day, so even though I shared this post a couple months ago, since it is chocolate mousse day, I thought I'd share it again . . . and what could be more delicious than chocolate mousse?!!! It can be complicated and a bit  tricky to make chocolate mousse, so I found a delicious recipe from Betty Crocker - I have made this before and it is easy and tasty - a great way to celebrate National Chocolate Mousse Day!

So, on this National Chocolate Mousse Day, let's also look at a few fun chocolate facts . . . did you know . . . 

• Mayans named chocolate ‘food for the gods,’ and it was served as a drink alongside human sacrificial blood.
• 400 chocolate beans are needed to make just one pound of chocolate.
• Chocolate beans grow in pod-like structures, quite similar to cotton, so chocolate is kind of a vegetable — albeit by a stretch.
