CHOCOLATE FONDUE
I adopted this recipe after Mean Chef (IHHDRO) left the site. His original comments were, "A simple party dessert which is a year-round opportunity to use the season's best and ripest fruit." My comments submitted as a review when I first tried it were, "Excellent chocolate fondue. I cut the recipe in half and prepared it with Ghirardelli Semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream. Hubby and I ate an entire pound of strawberries dipped in this luxury while watching movies tonight." I have made this many times since for just Hubby and I, and for guests. It is a very good chocolate fondue.

Steps:
- To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine the chocolate and 1/2 cup milk or cream and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on Medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
- Stir until smooth.
- Add more liquid if the sauce seems too thick or look curdled.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Use warm fondue immediately or set aside until needed and rewarm briefly.
- Have forks, skewers, or pretty (or goofy) swizzle sticks available for guests to dip with.
- If the fondue gets too thick or cool, reheat gently (without boiling) for 1 minute in the microwave on Medium (50percent) power or set in a pan of barely simmering water.
- Leftover sauce keeps several days in the refrigerator.
- It is a prefect topping for ice cream.
- Note: This is a versatile recipe that can be tailored to your taste and the type of chocolate you are using.
- For the most intense chocolate fondue, use milk, rather than half-and-half or cream, and omit the butter.
- For even greater intensity, choose a bittersweet chocolate labeled anywhere from 66 percent to 70 percent and use the greater amount of liquid called for.
- Butter or cream results in a softer, mellower chocolate flavor.
- Ideas for dipping: Kumquats or segments of seedless clementines, oranges, or ruby grapefruit- If possible, separate the citrus into segments without breaking the membrane.
- If you set the segments on a rack to dry in a warm place or in the oven, preheated to 200° F, then turned off for several hours, the membrane will dry like crisp paper and the juices will burst in your mouth when you take a bite.
- Chunks of pineapple Chunks of fresh coconut or large curls of dried coconut Chunks of banana Dried fruit such as apricot, mango, papaya, pineapple, or Bing cherries Strips of good-quality candied orange, grapefruit or lemon peel Cubes of pound cake or angel food cake, or toasted cubes of brioche or challah Cigarette cookies, fan wafers, graham crackers or digestive biscuits, or pretzels Marshmallows or meringues Toasted shaved almonds (to sprinkle on after dipping).

From contiki.com
Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- Crusty bread. Sourdough, rye, pumpkin, ciabatta, garlic. Whatever your weapon of choice, once you’ve dipped your bread into that oozing pot of melting cheese, life won’t be the same ever again and this is what makes it one of the best foods to fondue.
- Mini meatballs. Whether dipping in cheese or frying in a hot oil fondue, these little balls of goodness pack a mighty punch.
- Steak. Steak in a hot oil fondue allows you to cook the meat exactly as you like it – blue, bloody, medium, or well done.
- Vegetable skewers. Fresh mushrooms, red peppers, zucchini chunks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets – mix up your veggie skewer with all your favourite healthy treats then undo any nutritional goodness whatsoever by dunking them straight into cheese heaven.
- Potato cubes or wedges. Dice and pre-fry your potato cubes for the perfect dipper to cheese fondue. Or, cut them into wedges, pierce with a skewer and leave in a hot oil fondue until crispy and golden.
- Brownies. Just in case the cheese fondue main and chocolate fondue desert wasn’t calorific enough, chuck in a few brownies to get the cholesterol levels at an all-time high.
- Marshmallows. You’ve melted them on bonfires but have you ever dipped a marshmallow in rich, melted chocolate? The heat melts the marshmallow just enough that it becomes a sugary, oozy mouthgasm and we know you like the sound of that.
- Pineapple chunks. Kind of like the infamous New Zealand chocolate-covered pineapple chunks candy but way, way better. The zingy taste of the pineapple is the perfect balance to the runny chocolate, just watch out for drippage.
- Frozen bananas. Oh hell yes. Dice up your bananas and stick them in a container in the freezer overnight, then bring them out just before serving so you can easily skewer them.

11 SURPRISING FOODS TO DIP IN CHOCOLATE FONDUE
From powerfoodhealth.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Bacon. Chocolate-covered bacon is a beautiful thing, but it takes a little time to make, what with the coating on all sides and the letting it set. Why not just cook it to crisp perfection, drain it, and dip it straight into a pot of molten chocolate?
- Rice Krispies Treats. Make ’em in any flavor your heart desires (infused with booze, even), then cut them into dainty little cubes for spearing on your fondue forks and dipping into your pool of chocolate…you really can’t go wrong.
- Marshmallows. Alternatively, skip the rice cereal and just go straight for pillowy-soft, chewy marshmallows—which maybe aren’t that much of a novelty when it comes to dunking in chocolate, but can be if you opt for different flavors, like matcha marshmallows, bourbon marshmallows, or salted caramel marshmallows.
- Potato Chips. Same basic principle as bacon, but suitable for vegetarians too—and less work all around (well, unless you make your own, but any nice, thick, kettle-style chip from the store will do just fine).
- Grissini. While not so salty, another savory and super-crunchy option is grissini, those long, thin Italian bread sticks often sprinkled with sesame seeds; the pairing of them with fondue hearkens back to the traditional Catalan pairing of dark chocolate with olive oil and toast.
- Hurricane Jelly Shots. With two boozy layers (representing both white and dark rum), plus chopped maraschino cherries and passion fruit juice, these are bursting with flavors that would complement dark chocolate, and they’d provide an interesting texture and temperature contrast too.
- Cake Balls. Basically, you’re making cake pops, but instead of coating them all in chocolate at once and letting them set (let alone impaling them on their own individual sticks), you’re leaving them naked and dipping each one as you eat it.
- Candied Citrus. Chewy, bright, and sweet-tart, candied citrus is a way more exiting fondue partner than pound cake and strawberries. You can just use the peels (like in our Candied Grapefruit Zest recipe), or do whole slices; try oranges, tangerines, or Meyer lemons.
- Candied Ginger. Similar to candied citrus, but for those who like things a little spicy. Fresh crystallized ginger should have a nice soft chew, more gumdrop than taffy.
- Dried Fruit. Dried fruit options like mango slices, apricots, pineapples, regular apples, and papaya can make interesting additions to your array of fondue dippers, though some are harder to spear than others.

- In a saucepan, combine the chocolate, milk and cream and heat on low, stirring often, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Don't let it come to a boil; keep it on low heat.
- Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract. If needed, stir in heavy cream or milk a tablespoon at a time to adjust for a thinner consistency. Pour the mixture into a fondue pot or small slow cooker to keep warm while serving.
- Serve with dippers of your choice. We love: marshmallows, vanilla cookies, strawberries, rice krispie treats cut in little squares, bananas.
- Any extra chocolate leftovers (??) will keep well in the refrigerator - just reheat on low to have yourself another chocolate fondue experience.

- Cheese Fondue with Cognac or Brandy. This classic Swiss fondue pairs perfectly with snowy days. This traditional recipe calls for Kirschwasser, a cherry-based brandy.
