So, what are your plans tonight? Are you going out for a fancy dinner? Or staying home for a nice night in? Jacob and I keep it real classy with a lovely little dinner of frozen lasagna (Honestly, who wants to cook on Valentine's Day though?), garlic bread, and black forest cake. And maybe I'll even talk him into watching a chick flick with me. I love Valentine's Day, but really just because it's an excuse for me to eat good food and spend time with the hubby.

Side note, did you know chocolate fondue is not Swiss? It is purely an American dessert. I'm embarrassed to admit that that didn't even occur to me until Jacob and I traveled to Switzerland and chocolate fondue was no where to be found on any menu. Did anyone else ever think that? No? Just me? But...in Switzerland they do love their Swiss Cheese Fondue, especially with little baby potatoes. It's so yummy! Oh, the things you learn when you travel...

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Yes! You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate. Just make sure it’s high quality for the best melting consistency.

Can I make this in a microwave instead of a saucepan?

Yes, you can! Heat the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

How do I keep the fondue warm for a party?

A fondue pot, slow cooker on the “warm” setting, or even a double boiler can help keep it warm and smooth.

Why is my chocolate fondue grainy?

Overheating chocolate can cause it to seize. Make sure to melt it slowly and stir constantly.
