If you are looking to entertain people at a party or any gathering, you need not crack some jokes or break dance in front of a crowd.
Nowadays, chocolate fondues are all the rage, even spicing up an otherwise boring party. Most people swear by chocolates, and what better way to serve it than have it smeared all over other yummy food.
Fondues make a great dip for fruits, shortbread cookies, marshmallows, and even salty snacks such as pretzels. There are endless options for what to dunk into this amusing, warm chocolate sauce. For parties with adult guests, you can even add a splash of a fruit flavored liqueur for that extra kick.
You can prepare the fondue ahead, even before the party starts. You can do so by slicing the fruits or mixing the ingredients even hours before, but the chocolate sauce should only be melted once the guests show up to prevent it from thickening.
Chocolate fondues are entertaining all their own, but see to it that the chocolate is just as entertaining to the taste buds and the party will surely be a blast!
| Chocolate Fondue • 2/3 cup dry unsweetened cocoa • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 cup skim milk • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract • 1/2 cup white sugar or sugar substitute In a heavy saucepan, combine cocoa, cinnamon and milk; stir or whisk until there are no dry lumps of cocoa. Stir and cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat; boil gently, stirring often for 5 minutes or until mixture is thick and smooth. Cool slightly. Stir in vanilla and sugar. Pour into a small enameled fondue pot. |
Enjoy!
