Chocolate Fondue

A chocolate fondue is the perfect quick and easy Valentine's Day dessert that you can make at home. You can be creative and use fruits, vanilla cookies, marshmallows, graham crackers or rice krispie treats as dippers. We love this recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.

Ingredients

• 225g of semi-sweet or bittersweet baking chocolate (use the best quality you can find)
• 1/3 cup of heavy cream
• 1/3 cup of 2% or whole milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1. In a saucepan, combine the chocolate, milk and cream and heat on low, stirring often, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Don't let it come to a boil; keep it on low heat.
2. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract. If needed, stir in heavy cream or milk a tablespoon at a time to adjust for a thinner consistency. Pour the mixture into a fondue pot or small slow cooker to keep warm while serving.
3. Serve with dippers of your choice.
