Yummy Chocolate Fondue For A Crowd Food

SIMPLE CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Steps:

• Fill a medium-size pot 1/3 full with water and bring to a low boil. Once boiling, turn the heat to medium-low and place a metal mixing bowl on top of the pot. Pour the heavy cream into the bowl.
• If using whole chocolate, chop it into even, small pieces. It's easiest to do this with a serrated bread knife. Once the cream is warm, add the chocolate and whisk until smooth. Then, whisk in the peppermint extract or vanilla extract, depending which you prefer.
• Carefully transfer the melted chocolate mixture into a fondue pot. Light the flame underneath the pot to keep it warm.

Steps:

• Combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a fondue pot with a lighted burner. Stir until the chocolate is just melted and warm. Place offerings such as strawberries, marshmallows, mini pretzels and pound cake cubes on a platter around the fondue pot for guests to choose from. Have fondue forks available for dipping and plates and flatware available for the dipped items (eating right from the fondue fork is bad fondue party etiquette!).

Steps:

• Heat the heavy cream and the salt in a saucepan, over medium heat, until steaming.
• Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let it stand for a couple of minutes, then whisk or stir until melted.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and, if using, the cognac.
• Adjust the texture by adding more heavy cream or chocolate if needed. Heavy cream will thin it out and chocolate will thicken.
• Pour into a fondue pot and serve with your favorite dippers!
