Weightwatchers Mint Chocolate Mousse

Summer in Ireland is too short to be in the kitchen

With such glorious weather, as in it hit 22C today.  Who wants to be cooking? you see i definitely did not want to be, although i think that tomorrow, weather pending ? it will be a BBQ, fingers crossed that the sun appears again. 


Now, to me, summer has certain smells.  One is an egg and ham sandwich with King crisps (now King Lite) on the side.  Chipper Chips and sand, yes im aware that unless its the sand im eating my chipper dinners are limited but the other one is mint chocolate. 


Maybe some of you will remember but HB used to have an ice pop called Mint Feast, it was my favorite.  Well  today i had an egg and ham salad sandwich with half a pack of King Lite crisps on the side, totally yum.  Yet, afterwards i craved a mint chocolate ice cream pop. 


A couple of weeks ago i saw on www.weightwatchers.com i saw a recipe for a chocolate mousse and i made it and i have to say it was lovely.  Now i added tinned fruit and of course a trusty 99 flake and it was yum but i thought if it had a hint of mint in it, it would have been delicious and this evening i realised that i had everything to make it and the fact that it takes about 15 minutes, i thought, tomorrows dessert!
