Chocolate Fondue
|
"Fondue" comes from the French word "fondre" which means to melt. It also has the meaning of "food cooked in a central pot."
Not all fondues can be classified as candy. You can make cheese fondues, meat fondues, and other sauces which are used for dipping. I'm sure they are all delicious, but what could possibly compare to chocolate?
Chocolate fondues are usually made by combining chocolate, cream, and a choice of extracts, spices, or liquers for variety. There is a whole range of different chocolate fondue recipes that you can choose from to make your party interesting and to tempt everyone's taste buds.
Not only can you prepare a selection of fondues, but also an assortment of tasty treats to dip into your chocolate.
Arrange bite-size chunks of various fruits such as pineapple, strawberries, cherries, dates, orange slices, melon, grapes, pears, apples, kiwi, and bananas. (If you pre-slice the apples, pears, or bananas, be sure to dip them or sprinkle them in lemon or pineapple juice to prevent discoloration).
Other great choices are marshmallows, pretzels, cookies, miniature donuts, pound cake, or angel food cake.
For more variety, you can prepare another selection of items for after your dippers are covered in chocolate. Try rolling them in granola, chopped peanuts, chopped cashews, or coconut. Now we are really starting to get decadent.
Are you starting to get hungry? I am! Get yourself a fondue pot and accessories and give it a try. Fondue is great for parties, but don't cheat your family. Have a fondue night just for them. What a great way to start a family tradition.
