Chocolate Fondue for Your Valentine!

To make delicious chocolate fondue for your special someone on Valentine's Day there are some tips to keep in mind so that your fondue is the best it can be.

• Be sure to choose chocolate that has a cocoa solid content above 50%; the best quality chocolate makes the best chocolate fondue. White chocolate tends to harden if overheated.
• Stir constantly, heat slowly, and mix with cream that has been warmed to prevent hardening and to create a creamy texture.
• Ideally, all chocolate and dessert fondues should be melted on the top of a double boiler, never over direct heat, before being placed into the fondue pot for serving. A small amount of heat is required to keep dessert fondue warm in the fondue pot, it is best to use a candle.
• Try adding a favorite liqueur to add to the texture and flavor.

Following these tips will help you create the perfect fondue on Valentine's Day.
