I have spent a fair amount of time during my past few weeks in Paris getting acquainted with the grocery store down the street from my house. It's called Franprix, and has about 8 aisles, of which one is wine, one is cookies, one is cheese, and one is yogurt and yogurt-style desserts (amazingly, that only leaves 4 aisles for the other food groups, but somehow they have everything I need...hmmm...).
Given the shelf-space assigned to the yogurt and yogurt-style desserts, I decided that I should give some a try. This is how I discovered the most dangerous of delicious desserts. Tempted by the incredible subway-advertising (a clearly iconic french brand, natural ingredients) and adorable red-and-white packaging, I chose the Bonne Maman Mousse au Chocolat:
Given my usual aversion to desserts that aren't made from scratch, I wasn't expecting to like it. I was wrong. Totally BLOWN AWAY. Delicious, dark, chocolatey, mousse-y and not crazy-sweet...it is the closest I've had to the chocolate mousse that my mum makes...just amazing.
This is a dangerous discovery.
