Chocolate Fondue

Tips:

- Make sure everything is prepped before you turn the stove on.  

- Don't try and make the fondue in the pot. Do it on the stove first and transfer to the fondue pot after it's prepared.

- Do not leave the chocolate unattended after you've started - it will either clump, scorch or curdle if you walk away - don't know why, but it always happens to me. 

Ingredients:

2 ½ Cups Chocolate Chips

2 Cups Heavy Cream

1 Tbsp. Vanilla

Directions:

1. Combine the chocolate and the cream and heat over medium until the chocolate is melted, STIRRING CONSTANTLY.  Do not leave unattended!   

2. Add the vanilla off heat and stir until smooth.

3. Transfer to fondue pots and serve with:

Pound Cake

Fresh Fruit 

Bananas

Kiwi

Strawberries

Pineapple

Pretzels

Candy

Marshmallows

*The basics of this fondue is a chocolate ganache, all you would need to do to make truffles is scoop up little balls and roll it around in powdered sugar.  Add more cream and you can then chill the whole thing and whip it and it becomes chocolate mousse.
