Chocolate Rumplemintz Fondue
By Laura Klein, Organic & Green Expert, and Author of OrganicAuthority.com

1 pound high quality dark chocolate, finely chopped or grated
4 tablespoons Rumplemintz (optional)
2/3 cup heavy cream

In a medium, heavy bottomed sauce pan, heat cream on medium-high heat until very hot.
Add the chocolate and let stand until softened about 2-3 minutes.
Add liquor and whisk to combine until smooth.

Transfer chocolate fondue to a ceramic fondue or chafing dish.
Keep warm over a very low flame. You can even substitute a small votive candle for the fuel source.
Serves 4-6 people.

Recommended accompaniments:
Rice Krispy Treats
4-6 Marshmallow vines cut into 1" cubes
Banana slices
Strawberries

Chef's Note: Chocolate is extremely delicate. It must be melted over low heat. I have ruined my fair share of chocolate fondues by putting it over a high heat source. I highly recommend substituting a votive candle in place of your fuel source and using a ceramic dish in place of a metal fondue pot. Additionally, you can use any liquor in place of the Rumplemintz like créme de menthe or mint chocolate liquor, or you can simply eliminate the liquor.

Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately to world peace. Our company is further based on the principle that networking, communication, and helping others to promote and market themselves leads to financial stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel, and the spirit of giving back to the community."
