I subbed 33% of the semisweet chocolate with peanut butter, used slightly less liquid (milk and water; to make up for the looseness of the peanut butter compared to chocolate), included Tuaca as the alcohol (an orange-vanilla liqueur from Italy), and whipped whole eggs. Since there was no cream in the mousse, I thought I’d put some on top, whipped. I also had some spiced nutty caramel leftover from a candy bar experiment, so I thinned it with water and put that in the bottom of the glass for kicks.

The Caramel Bar. The Malted Bar. The S’More Bar. The Coconut Bar. They’re all in, but are being minorly or majorly tweaked. I have six other main contenders, and loads of back-up ideas. You’ll be hearing lots about them. [...] [...] So, what bars am I going to offer? The Caramel Bar. The Malted Bar. The S’More Bar. The Coconut Bar.

For now, I'm using Gold Foil Wrappers by CK Products. They're 6"x6", and they just fit perfectly inside. Later on, I'd love to add a layer of paper over that w/ logo and name.... so the wrapping in all would be modeled on something like a Kit Kat wrapping.
