Use this recipe with a fondue pot to keep chocolate melted, you may need to add more fat-free half and half to maintain consistency.
- Mix up the dippers by using other fruit such as pineapple, apples, pears, banana, kiwi or oranges.
- Try angel food cake squares for dipping (it is lighter than pound cake).
- To make dark chocolate dollops: melt only the chocolate, drizzle onto wax paper, top with a nut (pecans, walnuts, or almonds work well) or top with a raspberry (or other fruit). The fruit and nuts enhance the nutritional value of these chocolate delights by adding fiber, antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fat.
Remember to enjoy dark chocolate without the guilt by keeping portion sizes in check.
