Chocolate and Coconut Cream Fondue

Submitted by Aunt Cookie

"I got this from Epicurious.com to serve at a fondue party I hosted. This was, by far, everyone's favorite fondue...and has since then been served when my guests had fondue parties of their own. Note - cream of coconut is not quite the same thing as coconut milk. I can usually find it in the alcoholic beverage section of the grocery store, with the other mixers."

Yum! Incredibly good and super easy. Chocolate is still the predominant flavor, the coconut is not overpowering. Smooth and just the right thickness. Used Ghiradelli semisweet chocolate bars, prepared in a 1-quart crockpot. For dippers, used biscotti, pound cake cubes, frozen cheesecake cubes, whole strawberries, fresh pineapple chunks, banana, apple slices, marshmallows, vanilla wafers, and honey wheat pretzels. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
