ghirardelli chocolate fondue

Sinful.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Fondue

3/4 lb. Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate (3 baking bars)
1/4 lb. Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate (1 baking bar)
2/3 cup Heavy Cream
1/8 tsp. Instant Espresso Powder

Chop chocolate bars into small pieces.

In a saucepan, warm cream over low heat, but do not boil. Add espresso powder. Gradually melt in chocolate. Constantly stir in a figure-eight pattern until mixture is smooth and thick.

Pour chocolate fondue into a fondue pot and place over heating source on lowest setting. (My electric fondue pot's lowest setting was too hot. Instead, we used it as a double boiler by putting water in the fondue pot, and placing a bowl filled with the chocolate fondue on top. Great thinking, Greg!)

Serve with pretzel rods, fruit, cookies, and marshmallows.

Serves 6 as a dessert, or 12 as part of a Fondue Dinner Party.
