Chocolate fountains might be all the rage in party equipment, but you don't need one to dip fruit, pretzels, or cookies into melted chocolate. You don't even need a fondue pot.
Ingredients
-
¼ cup dried apricots (about 7)
-
1 ounce chopped bittersweet chocolate
Directions
Arrange fruit on a plate that can hold the chocolate cup. Put 1 ounce chopped chocolate in a small ramekin or glass custard cup. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir. Even if it doesn't look melted, it will be. Be careful not to scorch! Serve with a large toothpick and dip.
Options: You can replace dried apricots with 3 dried peaches, 3 dried figs, 28 dried cherries, or anything that a toothpick will hold to dip.
