Mousse?!?!?

[mousseman]

Does anyone remember a chocolate mousse from the 70s in a brown, round plastic tub, kind of flower shaped with a cardboard lid. On top of the mousse was a circle of cream flowers around the edge with one in the middle which left a bit on the lid when opened. I think they also did choc orange and mint??

Just looking at the pics again - they're different pots. I remember the flower shaped ones. Brown for chocolate and pink for strawberry. But weren't they just plain mousse, no cream? Or is my mind playing tricks?

That's Supermousse* which is what triggered my memory in the first place but it's not the one. It was chocolate and in a brown tub.

If they were chocolate with a little blob of cream in the middle they were called 'Lovelys' and it's driving me mad to find them now!!!

I really wish they would bring these back, best dessert EVER!!! If they can do it with Arctic Roll, petition anyone?

Used to love a nice mousse. They were always in the frozen section and it was hell waiting for them to thaw, almost as bad as waiting for a jelly to set.
