Use either 4 cups pre-made Mousse or package form Mousse and follow manufacture directions. I used Godiva Chocolate Mousse.
Melt chocolates and in microwave with oil for 1 minute but watch it very closely since it will burn and boil over on you. I used Godiva Chocolates but others, including chocolate chips will work as well.
Slice bananas, strawberries, chop nuts and crush salted caramelized Toffee and set to the side.
Melt caramels in microwave for 1 minute and watch very closely. It will boil over on you. I used fresh made caramels from a local candy shop.
In your glass serving bowls or cups, layer strawberries at bottom.
Cover strawberries with melted chocolate and caramel.
Add a dollop of higher end jam and chopped nuts to the center. I used fresh items from Knottsberry Farm.
Cover with chocolate mousse.
Place a layer of bananas, more strawberries and more melted chocolate.
Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chocolate candies of your choosing.
Add a split strawberry and a chocolate candy garnish of your choosing.
Cover and chill immediately for at least an hour and serve!
Authors Notes: * You can subtract the strawberries and jam and add peanut butter to make this dessert a delectable Elvis Presley style, "Peanut Butter and Banana Mousse." Add crushed peanuts and crushed dried banana slices as toppers. * Or you can subtract the bananas and add peanut butter and more strawberry jam for a delicious PB&J Mousse. * If you choose to serve your Mousse chilled, expect your drizzled, once melted chocolate to be crisp, like a chocolate bar and just as delicious!
