Chocolate Fondue?

Question

What kind of chocolate should I buy to use with a chocolate fondue?

Answer 1

You want a melting chocolate, so it will not separate when hot. Party supply stores usually sell it.

CHOCOLATE GRAND MARNIER FONDUE:
1/2 lb. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream
