Chocolate Fondue


My friends and I decided to have another fondue night the other day. We of course picked chocolate so we could dip all of the fun fruit and other goodies in it. I am loving my new fondue pot that I got for Christmas and enjoy using it whenever possible. The chocolate fondue was great and started the night perfectly for us. Enjoy!


Ingredients:
12 ounces of dark or milk chocolate (chips or roughly chopped if from a block)
8 ounces of heavy cream
A pinch of salt
Dippables (we used strawberries, sliced bananas, graham crackers, angel food cakes, marshmallows)

Directions:
Warm the cream in a pot over moderate heat until tiny bubbles show and begins to lightly and slowly boil. Add the salt and chocolate and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Immediately transfer to a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame (You can also just serve straight from the pot if you don't have a fondue pot). Arrange the dippables on a platter and use a fondue fork to dip the dippables in the chocolate. If the fondue begings to feel a little stiff, add a teaspoon of heavy cream and stir. Mine got a bit too liquidy so I added just a bit of corn starch and it was perfect.
