At the last minute, I decided to make this fondue recipe for Valentine's Day. It's divine. And somehow I don't feel guilty because we use fresh fruit for our dippers.
Chocolate Turtle Fondue
1 11-1/2-ounce package milk chocolate pieces
1/4 cup milk or cream
2 T. caramel ice cream topping
1 T. finely chopped pecans
Fondue dippers
In the top of a double boiler placed over gently simmering water, or in heavy small saucepan, combine the chocolate pieces and 1/4 cup milk. Heat, stirring constantly, over low heat until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping. Cook and stir till heated through. Stir in additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
Pour mixture into a fondue pot; place over fondue burner set on low. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon finely chopped pecans over the top. Do not stir. With fondue forks or long skewers, dip your favorite fondue dippers. Will hold up to 1 hour on low. If mixture gets too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Makes 5 (1/4-cup) servings.
**I do not have a double broiler so I put one of my glass bowls over a sauce pan to make my own with what I have. Just make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Over heating the chocolate is the danger here. I also don't have a fondue pot, so I just use the same glass bowl I heat the chocolate in. Our favorite dippers include strawberries, banana pieces, fresh pineapple cubes, rice krispie and brownie bites, and marshmallows.
