Chocolate Fondue

for chocolate lovers...
Ingredients:
2 Nestle All-Purpose Cream (reserve one to thin out the fondue if it becomes too thick)
2 bars dark chocolate, chopped into pieces
2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur, optional
1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds, optional

Suggested Dippables:
-sliced bananas
-marshmallows
-strawberries
-bread sticks/pretzel sticks
-almond biscotti

Directions:
1. Heat cream in a saucepan over moderate heat until cream comes to a low boil.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate pieces. Let the chocolate stand in hot cream 3 to 5 minutes to soften, then whisk chocolate together with the cream.
3. Stir in liqueur and/or chopped nuts and transfer to a fondue pot or set the mixing bowl on a rack above a small lit candle. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in reserved cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.
4. Arrange your favorite dippables in piles on a platter along side chocolate fondue with fondue forks or bamboo skewers as utensils, for dipping.
