- 2. You may think you need to own a special fondue pot, but while its fun to have one, its not absolutely necessary. A fondue pot is really just a warming dish on a stand, with a candle underneath the pot to keep whats in it warm.
- 3. Without a candle, a regular bowl should stay warm for about 20 minutes. The special equipment usually also includes long forks for dipping the fruit into the chocolate, but you can substitute regular forks, bamboo skewers or even long toothpicks.

- 5. Ingredients 16 ounces dark, sweet or semi-sweet chocolate (chips or roughly chopped if from a block) 1 1/2 cups light cream 1 tsp. Vanilla extract

- 7. Warm the cream over moderate heat until tiny bubbles show and begins to lightly and slowly boil. Add the chocolate, vanilla, and whisk until smooth. Immediately transfer to a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame, or serve straight from the pot.
- 8. Arrange the dippables on a platter or plates around the chocolate pot. Use a fondue fork, bamboo skewer, or salad fork to dip the fruit pieces and other dippables into the hot melted cream chocolate mixture. Eat immediately. If the fondue begins to feel a little stiff, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir. It will help it go a little longer. Eventually, it will cook down though and you may need to start a new pot.
