Melt in the Mouth Fondue

Hello to all....been a couple days since we updated.  Been busy busy- This weekend was the Boat and RV Show in San Antonio, we got free tickets so we went and drooled over the ocean cruisers we can't afford...lol.  Then we headed back to San Antonio with the kids and a friend of Shae's to The Melting Pot.  Anyone ever been there?  It's a chain of fondue restaurants-really neat, but bring a large checkbook because it is so not cheap.  Smart people though, they make you cook your own food and they charge you more...how does that work?   So we came home and Shae (the teenager who is obsessed with Fondue) asked for more the next day.  Some great dippers were marshmallows, cheesecake, rice crispy treats, brownies, pound cake, bananas, strawberries, apples, pretzels.....you get the picture.

So here is our version of Chocolate Fondue thanks to an OLD Better Homes and Gardens cookbook  Fondue and Tabletop Cooking.

Chocolate Fondue

6    1 ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light cream
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/8 tsp salt
3 TBSP creme de cacao or orange flavored liqueur ( I left it out)

In a saucepan melt chocolate over low heat.  Add sugar, cream, butter, and salt.  Cook, stirring constantly about 5 minutes or till thickened.  Stir in liqueur.  Pour into fondue pot, place over fondue burner. 

We bought our fondue pot at a resale shop for a dollar.  It doesn't get used a ton, but it is fun when it does.  Shae would use it everyday if we would let her.

Here's what Jamie thought about the fondue:
