Mmmm, chocolate!
Just a quick note on the fondue … on our trip to New York not too long ago, we stopped by the FAO Schwartz in New York City and wanted a souvenir to bring home. After casing the entire store, which is HUGE, we came across the sweets section. They had all kinds of goodies such as candy and cookies and there was even a little cafe that served coffees, pastries and ice cream. Not wanting to bring home yet another stuffed animal, we decided on a fondue mix that came with two skewers. There were other mixes too, including shortbread cookies with different cookie cutters (a pig, a crocodile and a frog to name a few), peanut butter cookies, brownies, etc.). I made a fondue meal earlier in the year, which included a chocolate fondue for dessert as well. Personally, I preferred the recipe I used instead of the mix. That might have to do with the fact that I accidentally bought whipping cream instead of heavy cream though, but we’ll never know … unless someone is willing to buy me another pack of that mix from New York or any other FAO Schwartz store selling it. =)
