How to Make a Chocolate Fondue (Or How to Feast!)
Let's make a feast at the table! Today I do not bring you a recipe as such, but original ideas to enjoy a chocolate fondue in different ways, as God intended, in a big way! The truth is that making a chocolate fondue is very simple and fun, and we couldn't wait to bring you some ideas that we believe are not widely practiced. Let's see what you think!
We cannot deny that the discovery of what we bring you here is motivated by the Choco Fondue Marie de Boska . It has opened up a world of possibilities for us when it brings us a fondue to enjoy at a very affordable price, and exactly the same applies to traditional fondue, in which you can make both chocolate and traditional cheese fondues.
Thanks to the double porcelain wall of the Fondue Marie (Isn't that name beautiful?), the chocolate melts perfectly in a bain-marie, maintaining the ideal temperature, so the chocolate will not burn or bitter. You will be able to enjoy a creamy and perfect fondue for much longer.
How to prepare a chocolate fondue?
First of all, prepare the fondue set , with the outer container filled with water and the candle lit. Next, chop the chocolate with your hands, dark for a more intense flavor, or milk chocolate for a milder flavor. Add half a cup of whole milk, and optionally, you can add a teaspoon of butter to give it a creamier texture and flavor.
Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted, and you get a homogeneous texture. When you see a melted and homogeneous chocolate, it will be time to enjoy it.

How to make special chocolate fondues
To make the chocolate fondue with a different and special flavor, play with the flavors and try different chocolate fondues. To do this, add vanilla extract or orange extract or mint extract while the chocolate is melting, and keep stirring well.
You can also try making a more sophisticated fondue: you can add a tablespoon of your favorite hazelnut, almond, orange or even coffee liqueur.
To enjoy fondue, it is common to prepare pieces of bread or toast cut into pieces the size of a bite, and of course what cannot be missing are some small plates or a table with pieces of seasonal fruit, you will see that it is a great source of vitamins, minerals and fiber.
If you want to escape presenting the fondue with the classic toast, I encourage you to bring waffles, or waffle cookies, to the table . They combine great and are very comfortable to take. Also other types of cookies, there are many that combine fabulously with chocolate (for not daring to say "all").
In this month of November, you can find delicious grapes, pears and tangerines to mix with chocolate! The pear will also be phenomenal. In this presentation of fruit, you can never miss the cut banana or strawberries when we talk about chocolate fondue (Of course!), but surely you already know that.
If you also want to surprise with something different and you have the opportunity, present the chocolate fondue with roasted figs, they are delicious. And there is still another food that combines great with chocolate and with which you can surprise, the corn on the cob : grill some ears on the grill and take them to the table, you will see that if you pour some chocolate on top of them with the help of a spoon, you will be as the god of the party
If you feel like adding an informal touch, or there are kids at that feast, also have the classic marshmallows or marshmallows . I promise you that piercing one of those, roasted or not, and covering it with chocolate is a pleasure that we don't always dare to do, but it is very tasty (and a chocolate fondue is the ideal moment to do it without having to think what will think who sees us).
To finish, you can serve the dark chocolate fondue with a glass of wine on the side. I assure you that it will be a wonderful explosion of flavors.
At Christmas, you can make the same recipe by adding tangerine extract and marzipan pieces . It is a very popular recipe from the Scandinavian countries.
The Choco Marie fondue is a great temptation, because it is extremely cute with the double body. But the double body is designed to make a bain-marie, and that is not what is usually sought. If you simply want a fondue, thinking of heating the chocolate with other traditional methods, then you should consider the traditional Boska Fondue , it is ideal to share between 2 or 3, and you can make both chocolate and cheese fondues , without any limitation.
