Creamy Chocolate Mousse

Start with 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Melt with 1 cup common sense and 2 tablespoons sanity. This was a complete and utter flop! It is actually kind of comical. Once I get over the fact that I created chocolate goop. This started almost a week ago when I thought of this great idea that maybe if I made homeade whip cream and then folded in a little melted chocolate, it would be a revolution in quick, easy, and simple chocolate mousse making history! Not so much. So tonight I pulled out the heavy cream and whipped it up. I made the mistake of HAND whipping it, even though I had a beautiful kitchenaid mixer on the counter. After ten minutes of mixing cream with a dinky hand whisk, my arm hurt worse than it does after doing the flex arm hang in P.E. I know, it was bad. So I finally had at least 1/2 cup of beautiful whipped cream that tasted just fabulous. I dropped in a dollop of melted chocolate and folded it in with a spatula. That is when it all went downhill, and I ended up with this:
Not good. My parents were momentarily out of the house and I thought this would work, so when it didn't, I quickly rinsed everything and shoved it in the dishwasher(after licking the rest of the melted chocolate out of the bowl) before they got home. So if you are reading this mom and dad, I'm sorry. Who knew chocolate could mess something up? I couldn't resist. I had to put this flop on the blog because it is just so bad! I will never get into the Culinary Institute of America with a past like this. I hope you enjoyed! I am going to go eat chocolate chips out of the bag now : )
