Bittersweet Chocolate-Orange Fondue

"Grand Marnier and grated orange peel add a touch of elegance to this simple indulgence. Prepare the fondue just before serving, and keep it warm while dipping so that it will remain smooth. Be sure the heat is low; too much heat will cause the chocolate to burn. Angel food cake, pound cake and and a variety of fresh fruit could be used"
