Chocolate Mousse Cookies


1 1/2 cups whipping cream
3 Tablespoons sugar
24 oz Hershey Chocolate Almond bars, chopped 
Nilla Wafers*, crushed, about 1/2 a box

Whip cream to firm peaks, adding sugar around the soft peak stage.  Melt chopped chocolate in microwave one minute at a time. Fold in whipped cream. Freeze for about an hour. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop place a small amount of mouse into a bowl containing the crushed Nilla wafer crumbs. Coat each ball with crumbs and quickly roll and shake off the excess crumbs.  Place on waxed paper.  Keep refrigerated.  Makes about 40.

*Use the real thing.  And the easiest way to crush them into a fine crumb is to give them a whirl in the food processor.
