Here’s the “little black dress” of chocolate fondues....basic elegant and adaptable. Choose a good quality chocolate for this fondue. Cognac is the classic flavoring, but dark rum, bourbon, Kahlua, Grand Marnier or just about nay liqueur works equally well. If you prefer to forgo the alcohol altogether, substitute an equal amount of one of the bottle syrups used for flavoring coffee drinks, or 1 tsp. vanilla, almond or orange extract. Serve with donut holes, nut cookies, marshmallows strawberries, pretzels small squares of waffle, frozen bits of cheesecake or angel or pound cake bites.Unknown
