ingredients

³⁄₄ cup heavy whipping cream, reserve 1/4 cup to thin if fondue begins to thicken
4 (3 1/2 ounce) bars bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons Frangelico (optional) or 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur (optional)
¹⁄₄ cup finely chopped hazelnuts (optional) or 1/4 cup almonds (optional)
hazelnuts or almond biscotti
salted pretzel stick
cubed poundcake
sliced banana
stem strawberry
sectioned navel orange
ripe fresh diced pineapple

directions

Heat 1/2 cup cream in a heavy non-reactive saucepot over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil.
Remove the pan from the heat and add chocolate. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then whisk chocolate together with the cream.
Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle.
If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.
Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
