4ozLindt dark chocolateat least 70% cacao, chopped (12 squares)
1tablespoonpure vanilla extractor brandy
Instructions
Pour the heavy cream into the fondue pot or into a small saucepan placed on the stovetop. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
When the heavy cream is bubbling lightly, lower the heat to medium-low and gradually stir in the chopped chocolate, mixing with a hand whisk or a heat-resistant rubber spatula until smooth.
When the chocolate is completely melted, stir in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the heat to the lowest possible. Serve immediately, with your choice of dippers. If not using a fondue appliance, simply place the saucepan on a trivet and serve. Or use a hot plate on the lowest setting to keep the fondue warm. Be careful - the fondue pot, hot plate, and/or saucepan will be hot.
