QUICK CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Make this delicious hot chocolate dipping sauce in just a few minutes and enjoy it as if it were created in a 4-star restaurant -- maybe more! I like to eat it in a warm bubble bath with candles for ambiance! (Can't do that in a restaurant!)

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

7 ounces hershey milk chocolate
cut-up fruit
1/3-1/2 cup half-and-half (light cream and soy milk work well, too)

Steps:

Break the chocolate bar into chunks-- the smaller the chunks, the smoother, faster and easier the chocolate will melt.
Heat the half-and-half in a non-stick saucepan on a low flame while adding the chocolate, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted to the consistency you desire.
Use more half-and-half for thinner fondu, less for thicker.
Be careful not to over-cook because the chocolate will form a film which may taste bitter if reblended into mixture.
Serve in a chocolate fondu pot (reasonably priced at Target. com) or in a ceramic bowl (to hold the heat longer).
The fondu pot is better because it allows you to keep chocolate warm with a tea light.
Dip fruit into chocolate and enjoy!
Notes: If you do not have fondu forks, you can use bamboo skewers.
I cut them in half for ease of use.
Arrange and serve the fruit on a pretty platter.
This makes the experience that much more delightful.
Dried fruits, nuts and popcorn are delicious dippers, too!
Chocolate fondue goes very well with dry champagne, full-bodied red wines and crisp, dry white wines.
Enjoy!
