Rich and Creamy Maple Mousse

I really enjoy a rich and creamy mousse and this recipe delivers. This is a quick and easy recipe that you can throw together the same day or let it chill overnight. It is packed full of flavor and the chocolate gives you a nice crunch and pairs so well with the mousse. It's a sweet treat for those that don't like a lot of overpowering sweetness!
