Not only is this treat a delicious new way to enjoy a favorite childhood flavor combination, but you'll be amazed at how easy it is to whip up! 

Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers, plus more for topping 
  • 2 Tbsp Butter, melted 
  • 2 cups Mini Semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping 
  • 3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, chilled 
  • 1/2 c. Marshmallow Creme 
Directions: 
  1. To make the crust, combine graham crackers and butter. Divide the mixture evenly between 2-3 trifle dishes and press down to form a crust. 
  2. To make the chocolate mousse, beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes. 
  3. Place chocolate chips in the microwave and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate has melted. Fold the chocolate into the whipped cream, mixing it until just incorporated (a few streaks are okay). 
  4. Refrigerate the mousse for at least one hour. 
  5. To make the marshmallow whipped cream, beat the other cup of whipping cream to form soft peaks, 2-3 minutes. Then fold in the marshmallow creme. 
  6. To assemble the dessert, top each graham cracker filled cup with chocolate mousse. Then add a dollop of marshmallow whipped cream. Garnish with additional chocolate pieces and crumbled graham crackers.
