🍽 Ingredients

• 6 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
• Pinch Salt

📖 Instructions

1. First, prepare your mise en place. Chop your chocolate into small, roughly equal-sized pieces. This helps it melt more evenly. I usually use a good quality semi-sweet chocolate, but feel free to experiment!
2. Next, carefully place your chopped chocolate into the fondue pot. If you're using more than one type of chocolate, mix them all together now. I always add a pinch of salt – trust me, it really enhances the flavor!
3. Now, add your cream, or milk if you're using that instead. I personally prefer using cream – it gives a wonderfully decadent feel. Stir gently to combine the chocolate and cream. Don't use too high a heat; low and slow is the way to go to avoid burning!
4. Place the fondue pot over low heat. Very low heat! Stir gently and continuously, using a spatula, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This part is like chocolate meditation; soothing and rewarding.
5. Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, remove the fondue pot from the heat. Stir in any additional flavorings you like, such as vanilla extract, orange liqueur, or a pinch of cayenne pepper, just before serving. Let your creativity flow!
6. Arrange your dippers (fruits, marshmallows, etc.) around the fondue pot. Prepare a small bowl with some water so people can quickly dip their forks and refresh them from time to time.
7. Now, it's time to enjoy your Love's Embrace Fondue! Gather your loved ones, and dip away. I recommend a slow and steady pace; savor each mouthful, it's worth it! Remember to take lots of photos!

📝 Notes

• If your chocolate seems too thick, add a teaspoon of warm cream; stir gently to get desired consistency
