Chocolate fondue lends itself to almost lim itless possibili ties for “ dunkables.” Almost any fresh fru it tastes better when it’ s surrounded by melt ed chocolate. This would In clude bannannas, apples, cherries and grapes. You'll also want to try pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices and dates as well as marshmallows or bite- size pieces of angel food cake. Here's a basic M ilk Choco late Fondue: M ILK CHOCOLATE FONDUE (8 to 12 servings) 2 11 1/2 ounce packages m ilk chocolate chips 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 teaspoon mult extract or 1 to 2 lbs. creme de men the, optional Combine chocolate chips and cream in fondue pot.
