Fireplace Favorite
Those chilly nights around a crackling camp fire complete with a gooey, chewy s'more can be recreated with a night of chocolate fondue. After heating up the chocolate fondue to a warm, but not overly hot, temperature you will be ready to begin. Place a few large marshmallows on the end of a fondue skewer and dip directly into the chocolate for five seconds. After removing the marshmallow from the chocolate fondue, let the chocolate harden for a few moments. Place the chocolate covered marshmallow between two graham crackers and enjoy.
If you want an even sweeter treat, dip the graham crackers into the chocolate fondue first and let sit to harden. After dipping the marshmallow into the chocolate, place it between the chocolate covered graham crackers. Super sweet and super delicious!
Fruity Flavors
Chocolate covered strawberries have long been a treasured treat. But what about other chocolate covered fruits? Chocolate fondue with a selection of fruit can satisfy any sweet tooth.
Pineapple, mango, honeydew and cantaloupe can be cut into small sections and affixed to a fondue skewer. Dip the piece of fruit into the chocolate fondue for five to seven seconds. Remove and let harden before enjoying.
Strawberries, cherries and grapes are also great fruit choices for chocolate fondue. Since these fruits come individually, you are able to purchase, wash and use them right away. Since they are smaller pieces of fruit, less time is needed to sufficiently cover them with the chocolate fondue. Leave cherries, grapes and strawberries on the end of the fondue skewer for only three seconds. This will prevent the fruit from getting too mushy.
Two Chocolate Options
Traditionally, chocolate fondue is dark brown, semi-sweet chocolate. Mix up your chocolate fondue choices by adding a white chocolate. By having two different chocolate fondues, guests and family members will be able to create delicious chocolate concoctions. For example, tuxedo strawberries can be made by dipping the strawberry in the white chocolate fondue first then dipping just part of the strawberry in the brown chocolate fondue.
