Double Chocolate Fondue

1/2 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
10 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
48 marshmallows

Chocolate and Coconut Cream Fondue

1 (15 ounce) can sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract

Mean Chef's Chocolate Fondue

10 ounces bittersweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1/2-3/4 cup milk or half-and-half or heavy cream (or 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine the chocolate and 1/2 cup milk or cream and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on Medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
Stir until smooth.

Add more liquid if the sauce seems too thick or look curdled.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Use warm fondue immediately or set aside until needed and rewarm briefly.

Have forks, skewers, or pretty (or goofy) swizzle sticks available for guests to dip with.
If the fondue gets too thick or cool, reheat gently (without boiling) for 1 minute in the microwave on Medium (50percent) power or set in a pan of barely simmering water.

Leftover sauce keeps several days in the refrigerator.
It is a prefect topping for ice cream.

Note: This is a versatile recipe that can be tailored to your taste and the type of chocolate you are using.

For the most intense chocolate fondue, use milk, rather than half-and-half or cream, and omit the butter.

For even greater intensity, choose a bittersweet chocolate labeled anywhere from 66 percent to 70 percent and use the greater amount of liquid called for.

Butter or cream results in a softer, mellower chocolate flavor.

Ideas for dipping: Kumquats or segments of seedless clementines, oranges, or ruby grapefruit- If possible, separate the citrus into segments without breaking the membrane.

If you set the segments on a rack to dry in a warm place or in the oven, preheated to 200° F, then turned off for several hours, the membrane will dry like crisp paper and the juices will burst in your mouth when you take a bite.

Chunks of pineapple Chunks of fresh coconut or large curls of dried coconut Chunks of banana Dried fruit such as apricot, mango, papaya, pineapple, or Bing cherries Strips of good-quality candied orange, grapefruit or lemon peel

Cubes of pound cake or angel food cake, or toasted cubes of brioche or challah Cigarette cookies, fan wafers, graham crackers or digestive biscuits, or pretzels Marshmallows or meringues Toasted shaved almonds (to sprinkle on after dipping).


I hope these hit your fancy....enjoy

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup Amarula liqueur
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 dash vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
Pour the whipping cream and Amarula liqueur into a fondue pot; cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture boils. Continue to stir while adding the chocolate chips. Reduce heat to low, and stir until the chocolate melts and blends completely with the cream mixture. Stir in the vanilla. Take care not to overheat the mixture. To serve, reduce heat to lowest setting.

this is delicious
