Do The Fondue

Everybody loves chocolate.  At least everyone that I know does.  So, what do you think of melted, warm chocolate with cream?  That’s how chocolate fondue is made.  Since I bought my fondue set and served fondue a number of times, it has not once failed to fetch praises for me.  Here’s my recipe:

220 grams hershey’s chocolate

200 ml cream (all purpose of heavy cream)

Assorted fruits, cheese, large white marshmallows, cake

ground nuts

Take out the chocolate from its individual wrappers.  Mix it with the cream. Let the chocolate melt directly over very low heat or in a double boiler.  What ever you prefer, just don’t burn the chocolate.  Keep stirring until it is just melted.  You don’t have to make it boil because the idea to is to serve it warm but ready to ingest. Transfer your chocolate fondue in the fondue set.

Cut the fruits, cheeses and cake into 1″ x 1″ cubes.  If you are using marshmallows, get the jetpuffed ones from Kraft.  But of course other brands will do too. 

Serve your fruits, cheese, cake, marshmallows and nuts in small bowls, 1 type of food per bowl.  Arrange them around the fondue set and put some forks near it.  Or you can put them in barbecue sticks so they are ready to be dipped in the fondue.  After dipping one fruit or cheese, roll it over some nuts.  Keep the chocolate warm by lighting a candle or burner beneath the fondue bowl.  This will keep the chocolate from hardening.  Give it an occasional stir to keep the chocolate from burning.

Some of the best food for dipping are bananas, pears, apples, cheese and banana cake.  Others like brownies in it but I personally don’t like too much chocolate so I don’t add those.  Anyhow, whatever you like can be dipped.  It’s just a matter of preference.
