Be creative when picking dippers for chocolate fondue. Consider cubed angel food cake, shortbread cookies, biscotti, marshmallows and pretzels. Other fruit options include dried apricots, cantaloupe chunks, orange segments and drained pineapple chucks.
Before serving, you may want to brush fresh cut fruit with lemon juice to prevent browning.
If you don't have fondue forks, use ordinary household forks or wooden skewers. You can avoid confusion by adhering a different colored tape for every guest at the end of each utensil

I love to entertain, but with a full-time job, a 2-year-old and another one on the way, I don't have a lot of time. This is one of my favorite quick ways to have a memorable time with others. There's nothing like catching up with friends as we gather around a fondue pot! —Tonya Vowels, Vine Grove, Kentucky
