This dessert was okay, but nothing special. The praline chocolate mousse was a bit bland and the praline sauce was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't make this again.

This dessert was a bit disappointing. The praline chocolate mousse was a bit too dense and the praline sauce was a bit too runny. I think I would have preferred a lighter mousse and a thicker sauce.

This dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. The praline chocolate mousse was very rich, and the praline sauce was very sweet. I would recommend using less sugar in the recipe if you don't like your desserts too sweet.
