To complete your chocolate needs, a chocolate fondue set can fill that gap. Fondues have been around since the 1930s and were originally a Swiss, Italian and French dish of melted cheese which is heated by a candle or spirit lamp, and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese. Since the 1950s the term ‘fondue’ was generalized to describe dishes in which food is dipped into a pot of some sort of substance (chocolate, cheese, etc…) which is kept hot by a candle.
A chocolate fondue will bring the family around the table as everyone picks up slices of fruit, pastry or marshmallows then dipped into a warm melted chocolate. Along with bringing fun to the table, fondues can also be used as a pleasant party food delight, just place fruit slices or tasty pastry bites on a wide plate and leave them for people to help them self’s to a tasty treat.
