1. Combine chocolate spread and chocolate hazelnut spread/peanut butter/cookie butter in a bowl. Melt in a microwave for a few seconds to soften the mixture.

2. Whip heavy cream in an electric mixer until soft peaks form. 

3. Fold in the melted chocolate mixture by hand into half of the whipped cream. Then fold in the rest of the whipped cream.

4. Divide mixture among 4 to 6 serving bowls, ramekins, or glasses. Top with chocolate bar pieces of your choice. Chill until set, about 2 hours, before serving.
