Chocolate Fondue

:  January/February 2008

Your rating: None Average: 4.2 (40 votes)

The chocolate will stiffen if it gets cold, so enjoy it while it's still warm. Skewer and dip anything you like—pear slices, dried apricots, even marshmallows.


READER'S COMMENT:
"tip - try using nonfat yogurt or low fat soy milk instead of cream - surprising how well that works :) "
