During supper last night, Glenn was talking about how his bout of stomach flu hit him at a very inopportune time. The band was being treated to a wonderful spread at P.F. Chang’s. One of the items that Glenn missed out on was the chocolate fondue fountain. Grandma suddenly says, “I should pull out my chocolate fondue pot!” I didn’t even know she had one! By the time I got Miles into bed, the yummy scent of chocolate was wafting upstairs. We all gathered around the table to share a small feast of strawberries, grapes, and graham crackers dipped in chocolate. Awesome.
Krista, my sista, we have to do this sometime.

Will you share the receipe? It sounds sooooo good.
MAN!!! The things I miss out on! Add some pineapple to that feast - I am SOOO there! :)
Grandma used this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens online:
11 1/2 oz milk chocolate pieces
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
In the top of a double boiler placed over gently simmering water, or in heavy small saucepan, combine the chocolate pieces and 1/4 cup milk. Heat, stirring constantly, over low heat until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the peanut butter. Cook and stir till heated through. Stir in additional milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency.
Pour mixture into a fondue pot; place over fondue burner set on low. With fondue forks or long skewers, dip fruit dippers, cake cubes and/or marshmallows into chocolate mixture. (Will hold up to 1 hour on low. If mixture gets too thick, add milk 1 tbsp at a time) Makes 5 (1/4 cup) servings.
Oh my, there's a twist to that same recipie and they've called it Flaming Turtle Fondue. Now that sounds good too. There's lots of recipes to be found online. Just look around - you'll find one that suits you.
Krista, we talked about having pineapple the next time too. Yumm. Oh! Grandma and I tried it with a small piece of candied ginger too. Not bad at all!
YUM!!!!!!! sounds like Grandma had some chocolate inspiration!
