Valentine’s Day is just a few days away… and I can’t wait! A holiday specifically geared toward spreading love and eating copious amounts of chocolate? I’m SO in!
One of my favorite romantic desserts is chocolate fondue. Getting to dip whatever I want into chocolate is my idea of bliss! You can dip fruit (fresh or dried), graham crackers, pound cake, brownies, rice krispie treats, marshmallows…. the list goes on and on and it’s all wonderful!
My favorite dippers are pound cake, bananas, and cubed rice krispie treats. But… there’s also something to be said for the yummy combination of graham cracker, marshmallow, and fondue chocolate. Mmmm….
In addition to being fabulously tasty, fondue is easily scalable (perfect for parties — of two or twelve). And how romantic is it to feed the one you love bite-sized treats dipped in warm, drippy chocolate?
As you can see, there’s no need to spend hours in the kitchen trying to create an amazing Valentine’s Day dessert. Quite the contrary, my friends… this will take you all of fifteen minutes and packs all of the WOW factor you could possibly need.
Seriously. Who could turn this down? Get out there… create fondue… and enjoy the weekend dedicated to chocolate! Happy Valentine’s Day! xoxo
Chocolate Fondue
1/2 pound of chocolate — milk, semi- or bittersweet (or your favorite combination!), chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
Heat cream gently in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat. Bring barely to a simmer and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Transfer to a fondue pot and enjoy with your favorite dippers.
a massive pot of melted chocolate simply can’t be topped. the end.
oh, and cubed rice krispies treats as dippers? brilliant.
Time to excavate in the basement for my fondue pot!
