If you want a more decadent chocolate mousse then instead of the maple extract why not add 2 tsps of rum or brandy. Our vanilla shortbread biscuits are also great for dipping in the mousse.
Chocolate chips would also work well mixed into the mousse before setting. Just add as many or as few as you want, in our experience more chocolate chips is always better than less though. Or maybe sprinkle some grated chocolate on the top.
