Peanut Fruit Fondue

Submitted by Molly53

"It's been a while since fondue was the biggest entertaining craze since barbecues, but you'll want to try it again with this tasty sauce. Fruit improves dramatically enveloped in this creamy sauce, then dipped in peanuts or shredded coconut. Also try it with bite-sized pieces of angel food or pound cake. From an old newspaper clipping."
