Chocolate Fondue

INGREDIENTS

2 cups milk chocolate chips

3 tablespoons heavy cream

2 tablespoons cherry brandy

1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Combine chocolate, cream, brandy, coffee and cinnamon in a fondue pot over a low flame (or in a saucepan over low heat). Heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Serve at once.
You can use any kind of chocolate you want, but you do need to add vegetable oil to it to get the right consistency. A good estimate is 1/2 cup of chocolate to 5 pounds of chocolate. The higher quality chocolate does taste better. Melt is first and mix the oil and chocolate together, then pour it into the fountain.



Also, be very sure to have the fountain level.What kind of chocolate do I use for a chocolate fondue fountain and how do I prepare it?
In the grocery mart they should have piceces of chocolate already made for fondue. Some fondue fountains heat the chocolate themslves, but if not heat the chocolate in a sauce pan on low.
