Double Chocolate Fondue

Thick, rich and luscious, this yummy dip won’t last long. I eat spoonfuls right out of the refrigerator! Try it with pretzel sticks or graham crackers for dippers.

“We loved this; all I had was blocks of semisweet chocolate and it was perfect. My 3-year-old said, ‘Mommy, this is the best dessert I ever had!’ ”
