• FOR RASPBERRY MOUSSE:.
• CHOP 2/3 C semi-sweet chocolate chips into roughly 1/4-inch pieces. (Just chop them up like you would green onions)
  
• Beat 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract & 6-7 drops red food coloring, & 3/4 C powdered sugar, in medium mixer bowl until creamy then fold in 1/4 C frozen raspberries, again mash 'em up, and add the sliced chocolate chip morsels.
• In yet another bowl BEAT 1/3 c whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
• Fold cream into raspberry cream cheese mixture until mixed & then spread mousse over cooled brownie.
• Refrigerate for 1 hr & cut into bars to serve.

And to make them even MORE delicious: (sorry no picture with this)
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and 1 C chocolate chips. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not allow it to bubble. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla.
To serve, I spooned a pile of this in the bottom of a cereal bowl, placed the raspberry brownie mouse on top, and then drizzled with more chocolate! Oh baby yummy! This topping can be cooled and reheated in the microwave, just like hot fudge!
Now seriously, ENJOY!
