QUICK CHOCOLATE FONDUE

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!
