Chocolate Fondue
Choose fruit that's easy to hold as you dip slices into this luscious mixture. Apples, pears, strawberries and pineapple are ideal. Of course, the Mini Almond Cakes are perfect for this. Even though the menu is hands only, small skewers or toothpicks will make dipping easier and neater. The chocolate will stay soft enough for dipping for up to an hour; if it begins to set, microwave it at high for 15 to 20 seconds.
