liquor, if you choose, by cooking it on the stovetop, bring to a boil – the alcohol
burns off, leaving only the flavor. Mix this with your choice of chocolate before
adding to the CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN.

NOTE: For best results your chocolate needs to be 60% cocoa, any higher
percentage will require you add more vegetable oil to thin the mixture. DO NOT
