This is a simple dish for either a romantic occasion or a fun night with friends. Chocolate fondue mixed with caramel and nuts and set on fire before serving is a sure bet for a delicious and exciting eating experience.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup milk (or whipping cream for a thicker texture)

1/2 cup milk chocolate

1/4 cup caramel syrup

2 Tbsp pecans, chopped

2 Tbsp rum, 151-proof for flambé

Fruit, cut (strawberries, bananas and pineapple)

Marshmallows

Cake, cubed (pound cake and cheesecake)

Preparation:

Soften milk chocolate in microwave. Heat milk in the fondue pot. Once it is hot, add softened chocolate. Stir until you have a smooth consistency. Pour caramel into a pool in the middle of the chocolate. When it is time to serve, pour the rum over the top of the chocolate. Leave a small amount on the spoon to ignite with a lighter. Use flaming spoon to ignite the rum on the chocolate. Add the chopped pecans to the chocolate. Allow the flame to burn out.

Note: All dipping items should be skewered and dipped in the chocolate. Be careful as you reach the sides and bottom of the fondue pot; the chocolate tends to be hotter there.

Yield: 2 servings
