Recipe: Orange-Scented Chocolate Sauce Fondue

Congratulations Sue. You are the proud owner of a lot of fun. Many of us "older" folks ;-) have dug out, dusted off, and scrubbed our old fondue pots now that there are so many low-fat recipes in the air.

I have posted a chocolate/orange fondue recipe below (heck with non-fat for now). I recommend you scroll back to the top of the TKL message board and do a search using the word "Fondue". You will fine many, many, many recipes and links to recipes for fondue. Many are for the broth recipes which are great for your healthy and tasty fondue meals.

Have fun, Sue :-)
