Quick Chocolate Fondue

Submitted by Loves2Teach

"Make this delicious hot chocolate dipping sauce in just a few minutes and enjoy it as if it were created in a 4-star restaurant -- maybe more! I like to eat it in a warm bubble bath with candles for ambiance! (Can't do that in a restaurant!)"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 2-4

ingredients

• 7 ounces hershey milk chocolate
• cut-up fruit
• 1⁄3 - 1⁄2 cup half-and-half (light cream and soy milk work well, too)

directions

1. Break the chocolate bar into chunks-- the smaller the chunks, the smoother, faster and easier the chocolate will melt.
2. 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.
3. Use more half-and-half for thinner fondu, less for thicker.
4. Be careful not to over-cook because the chocolate will form a film which may taste bitter if reblended into mixture.
5. Serve in a chocolate fondu pot (reasonably priced at Target. com) or in a ceramic bowl (to hold the heat longer).
6. The fondu pot is better because it allows you to keep chocolate warm with a tea light.
7. Dip fruit into chocolate and enjoy!
8. Notes: If you do not have fondu forks, you can use bamboo skewers.
9. I cut them in half for ease of use.
10. Arrange and serve the fruit on a pretty platter.
11. This makes the experience that much more delightful.
12. Dried fruits, nuts and popcorn are delicious dippers, too!
13. Chocolate fondue goes very well with dry champagne, full-bodied red wines and crisp, dry white wines.
14. Enjoy!

Made tonight for a fondue dinner so we had both regular fondue and this fondue for dessert. SO GOOD! It got totally devoured and I can't believe how simple this was. Used cubes of angel food cake, rice krispie treats, dried apricots, strawberries, fresh pineapple and marshmallows. YUM. Thanks!!!

This was a hit. I made both a white chocolate and a hershey one. I used bananas, strawberries kiwi and pound cake. I used small individual dishes for each person. Thanks.

Terrific! Thanks for an easy and fun dessert. I had semisweet chips and used between 1/2-1/3 cups of half and half which I heated in the microwave for 1 minute. I then put the chocolate in a fondue pot heated with a tea light. We dipped apples, dried apricots, strawberries and marshmallows. My kids said "I love you Mom" and I got some kisses too! That's worth it!
