14 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup milk or whipping cream
2 tablespoons liqueur (optional), or 1 teaspoon vanilla, peppermint, or almond extract (optional)
In a small saucepan, heat cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Cover and let stand for five minutes; using a whisk, beat the cream and chocolate mixture together until smooth. Stir in liqueur or other flavorings.
Transfer chocolate mixture to a fondue pot and light the flame to keep fondue warm. Serve with your choice of dippers. After serving, stir occasionally and add a bit more cream or milk if the fondue becomes too thick.
Or use a small crock pot set on low heat to keep your fondue warm. The crock pot option is handy too, because you can let your ingredients melt while you're doing other things. Just remember to stir the fondue mixture every 30 minutes or so.
I just want to melt the chocolate - so I am thinking is 30 minutes on low enough you think to melt all that chocolate I have? and do I need the 1/4 cup skim milk to mix in?
I am googling but find y'alls information so much easier to follow!!!
