1 18.6-ounce box Mexican chocolate,* chopped
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white rum
4 cups chilled heavy whipping cream, divided

I'm not a big fan of chocolate mousse, but this one is really good. The burnt rum flavor is really subtle and it doesn't overpower the chocolate.

This mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
