Irresistible! That's the only word that springs to mind to describe these "Chocolate Mousse With Hazelnut Crunch and Crème Brulee Center" frozen desserts. The mousse has a very nice consistency -- not too aerated; rich and satisfying; and not overly sweet as you might be expecting. The flavor is great, and we found the combination of chocolate mousse and crème brulee heavenly! These mousses (or should we say meeses?) are perfect for entertaining, or as a relaxing solo treat. (We suggest pairing with a good French White Burgundy -- yep, they're that good!) Our only complaint is about the packaging -- the two-piece container does keep the domes in place and protected, but it doesn't prevent freezer burn -- for such a high-end product, we'd like to see them wrapped in cellophane, too, for extra protection. Also, a quick word of warning: the package directions say to leave the dessert to thaw in the refrigerator for two hours, but we think you might find it too soft; we suggest about 45 minutes. Other flavors and varieties available. Retails for $6.99–$7.99/6.3 oz. (2 domes).
