dip away my friend

I have always dreamed of hosting an intimate dinner party or get-together of sorts just so I can serve chocolate fondue for dessert. I bet dunking morsels of cake and fruit into creamy chocolate would be decadently fun. I haven't gotten to hosting that party - heck I haven't even got a fondue set but who's to say I can't have a chocolate dipping party for one???!

Chocolate Fondue:

ingredients:
- package or can of cream
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp of cocoa
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup hot water

how to:
- in a small bowl mix the cocoa and sugar into the hot water until dissolved. set aside
- heat the butter and cream in a heavy saucepan on low fire
- add the cocoa mixture. mix until cocoa is incorporated.
- continue stirring for five minutes on low, not allowing the chocolate mixture to boil
- transfer into a bowl and serve with sliced fruits, marshmallows, pretzel sticks, pound cake etc

dip, dip and dip away!!!
