Spiced Chocolate Fondue
The chocolate in the fondue is flavored with warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom which brings just a hint of depth of flavor to the chocolate. Serve this spiced fondue with assorted fruit, Brown Sugar Bourbon Pound Cake, or, if you’re feeling a little wild, Vanilla Bean Old-Fashioned Doughnuts.
