Whip remaining cream in another medium bowl with handheld electric mixer until stiff peaks start to form. Beat in confectioners’ sugar and green food colouring until blended.

Layer 2 tbsps (30 mL) chilled cookie crumb mixture over each mint chocolate mousse. Drizzle with 1 tbsp (15 mL) HERSHEY’S Chocolate Syrup. Garnish with dollop of whipped cream mixture and remaining vanilla flavored chips. Refrigerate mousse cups until ready to serve.
