FUN HOLIDAY – CHOCOLATE FONDUE DAY
• February 5 is Chocolate Fondue
Day, a made-up holiday that
encourages people to get
together with family and friends
and enjoy a fondue pot of
delicious and gooey melted
chocolate.
•
CHOCOLATE FONDUE
• it is the dessert version of the traditional fondue – pieces of bread and vegetables
dipped in melted cheese. In chocolate fondue, pieces of fruit, cake or cookies are
dipped into sweetened melted chocolate.
• Bringing People Together
• Fondue is a communal dish eaten out of a pot that is kept warm with a candle or
lamp. The heat keeps the cheese or the chocolate melted and warm. Diners use
skewers, toothpicks, or special fondue forks to dip the bread or fruit in the melted
cheese or chocolate. Etiquette requires that the dipping instrument is only used to
bring the food from the fondue pot to the diner’s plate and that diners never double
dip their morsels of food in the cheese or chocolate.
