Let me apologize for my strange disappearance these past few days. I’ve been having so much fun spending time off with my hubby that I sort of put blogging on the back burner for a little bit. However, I don’t guess I really have to apologize if I don’t want to…this is MY blog after all, and should I choose to spend all my time cavorting with my man instead of blogging, I suppose that’s quite alright. 😉
This decadent chocolate fondue is a recipe I’ve been dying to share with you for simply years now. For whatever reason, I never seemed to get a decent picture of it until now, so I’m thrilled to FINALLY share it with you! I make this probably every single Valentine’s Day and sometimes New Year’s Eve or special anniversaries. I just love fondue (especially this recipe because it literally tastes like a liquid version of my Nana’s fudge!). It’s just so much fun to eat and Joel and I always have a great time when I make it. It’s my mom’s recipe (big shocker) and the whole family loves it. And it’s so amazingly quick to make- all you need is about 5 minutes!
Fudgy Chocolate Fondue
-my mother’s recipe
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add cocoa powder, sugar and milk, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer to a fondue pot.
Serve with cubes of pound cake (I personally love it with cheesecake bites!), strawberries, bananas, oranges and anything else you want! Enjoy!
**If you don’t have a fondue pot, I highly recommend an electric non-stick version- it makes it so much easier for clean up, and I like being able to control the temperature.
This looks so yummy! I might have to get a fondue pot…my family would have so much fun dipping goodies in that chocolate! 🙂

Lady, I am loving those macro shots of chocolate dipped goodness! Everything is better when slathered in chocolate. It’s a fact.

Lindsey- I’m working on getting used to this lens- it’s taking some time but hopefully my shots will start to look half as good as yours soon! 🙂

This looks really good. Another good idea is to eliminate the sugar and mix the cocoa powder in with some condensed milk. It is evil and awesome. I’m bookmarking this. 🙂

You really make it appear really easy with
your presentation but I in finding this topic to be really
something that I believe I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely broad for me. I am having a look forward on your subsequent publish, I’ll attempt to get the hold
of it!

When someone writes an article he/she maintains the image of a user in his/her mind that how
a user can know it. Thus that’s why this paragraph is outstdanding.
Thanks!

In Episode One, Alyx shoots down zombies with

in great confusion and dilemma that they often wonder
what they will become when they walk around with those women-like breasts.
