Fondue is making a comeback! It can be a fun party food, or it can be a great way to get romantic with a loved one. No matter where you plan to serve it fondue will make a great addition to any meal or party.

From the Heart Fondue

What You Need:

2 T half and half
1 T butter
2 T light rum, divided
8 oz. semi sweet chocolate, chopped

How to Make It:

Place the half and half into a small sauce pan over medium heat.

Add the butter and 1 T of rum and bring the mixture to a slow simmer.

Once simmering, remove the pan from the heat.

Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate has completely melted and the
mixture is smooth.

Pour in the remaining rum and whisk until combined.

Transfer to a small fondue pot or a custard cup place on a heated serving plate.

Serving Size:  4

This is the perfect dipper for fresh strawberries, raspberries or even fortune
cookies.  If the chocolate becomes too thick for dipping whisk in 1 t of half and
half at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

You can also leave out the rum if you want. This can be a romantic way to move from the dinner table to another room of the house for a romantic Valentine’s night.
