Nowadays anything that has a cookie, chocolate, and marshmallow combination seems to get the name smore. So here is a version that uses chocolate mousse layered with cookies and marshmallows.
The recipe includes a basic camp recipe for chocolate mousse, without using eggs. You could skip this part and make the recipe even easier and use a packet of instant pudding instead.
The ginger snap option for the base is a slight twist and offers a unique flavor to the dessert. But any available cookie, wafer, or biscuit will work just as well.
Not only are these chocolate mousse smores cute to look at, they are delicious to eat.
You can prepare your own homemade mousse or use a packet of chocolate pudding mix.
You can use traditional graham crackers as the base for this mousse or give it a twist with gingersnaps.
