CHOCOLATE FONDUE
Hey, we made it to February! I don’t know about the rest of the country/world, but the PNW is feeling awfully springy these days. Which is fine by me, Spring is my favorite season. Flowers and sunny days and birds chirping, what’s not to love? I know I already posted a Valentine’s Day treat on Friday, but I couldn’t help but share one more. As I mentioned in that post, I usually prefer to stay in on Valentine’s Day to avoid the crowds. A few years ago I whipped up this easy chocolate fondue as part of our Valentines’ Day dinner, and I couldn’t believe how easy but decadent it was.
Since this fondue is so simple, it is important to use high quality chocolate. I bought Lindt Sweet Dark Chocolate bars from Fred Meyer when I was picking up the other ingredients. All you do is melt the chocolate with some half and half (you can also use milk or heavy cream). Something with a high cocoa content is going to give you a better flavor and consistency.
I almost bought a fondue pot for this post, but then I decided it wasn’t necessary. I mean, I guess if you make fondue regularly it would be worth it to own a fondue pot. But I don’t, and I don’t need another kitchen tool cluttering up my cupboards (I have plenty of that already, trust me). This chocolate fondue stays smooth and dippable long enough that I didn’t feel I needed a fondue pot, just using a ceramic dish was fine.
