Chocolate Fondue

February 12, 2013 by Tanya

Chocolate Fondue

I’m going to use Valentine’s Day as my excuse for making this yummy dessert. And for possibly licking the bowl clean. Literally. No, I wasn’t raised by neanderthals either; my parents raised me right. This dish is just too yummy to worry about what’s proper.

I fell in love with fondue the moment I swirled a lush strawberry in a piping hot bowl of chocolately goodness at Melting Pot. Love at first bite. The first time I made chocolate fondue was actually for my brother when he was visiting me.

He and I chowed down and dunked strawberries, bananas, doughnuts and pound cake in a bowl of decadent chocolate. I think the decadence gave my brother indigestion.

To be fair, I served a rich dinner followed by chocolate fondue then converted the leftover fondue into hot chocolate mixed with a little Baileys. Possibly lots of Baileys.

Best. Sister. Ever. 😀

I highly recommend this dessert to cap off your Valentine’s Day celebration or any time you need a chocolate fix. Or want to torment your big brother with indigestion. (Really, it’s not the dessert’s fault. He’s a wimp!) This fondue is easy and lick-the-bowl-clean good.
