Chef notes
This is a truly simple dessert to pull off, and yet it appears provocative and impressive. Besides, there's nothing more deliciously romantic than dipping assorted fruits and cake into chocolate.
Technique tip: Stirring your chocolate occasionally over low heat will keep it from drying and hardening up.
Swap option: If you don't have a fondue pot, you can use a chafing dish or just hover over the stove and keep your chocolate over very low heat while you dip!
Special equipment: Fondue pot and skewers
