No- Bake Mousse Bars

These no-bake chocolate bars are every chocolate lover's dream. It requires no baking time, has two layers of chocolate, and one smooth decadent bite that is simply unforgettable.

If there is anything I love most in this world, aside from my family, it is chocolate. Chocolate is one of my absolute favorite things to eat, period! I am typically a milk chocolate person and depending on how dark the dark chocolate is, that would be fine too. In any case, I find chocolate to be simply irresistible and I love just about any chocolate dessert there is. The amount of chocolate I go through every month is a little bit scary, to be honest...
