I don't know if I made it wrong either but I did not like it at all. It was very bitter (and I like bitter chocolate) and not very mousse like. - 1/12/09

Sorry to hear that the chocolate mousse didn´t work for you. I have never had trouble with this recipe and anyone who´s tasted it here. Maybe ingredients vary in different places.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but it really came out horrible. It was too bitter and it didn't give that chocolate feeling we all know and love. I would prefer a tiny piece of chocolate over this. - 6/10/08

My chocolate mousse turns out perfect and tasty every time. Is it possible you have skipped one of the steps?
