Belgian Chocolates

10 Points for the Best Chocolate Fondue Recipe!?

We'd like to do a really good chocolate fondue for Xmas day pudding.

Got the basic recipe (chocolate & cream) - but this is a bit boring. Anyone got any better recipes?

NB: must not contain alcohol, because children will be here.

Ingredients

* 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, reserve 1/4 cup to thin if fondue begins to thicken
* 4 bittersweet chocolate bars, chopped, 3 1/2 ounces each
* 2 tablespoons Frangelico or Amaretto liqueur, optional
* 1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds, optional

Suggested Dippables, choose 3 or 4 selections of the following:

* Hazelnut or almond biscotti
* Salted pretzel sticks
* Cubed pound cake
* Sliced bananas
* Stem strawberries
* Sectioned navel oranges
* Ripe fresh diced pineapple

Directions

Heat 1/2 cup cream in a heavy non-reactive saucepot over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add chocolate. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then whisk chocolate together with the cream. Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency. Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping.
