To get you in the mood for chocolate, here is Green & Black’s recipe for:
Maya Marmalade Fondue
Ingredients:
1 100 gr (3.5 oz) Green & Black’s Maya bar
1/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1 tbsp orange marmalade
Directions:
Conventional method
Break up the chocolate and put in a saucepan with the water.
Over low heat stir with a small wire whisk until ingredients are smooth and combined.
Add orange marmalade and stir.
If the resulting sauce is too thick, add a few drops of water and whisk to blend.
Serve in a small bowl with desired fruit and nuts.
If fondue becomes cool and thick microwave for 10 seconds and stir, repeat if necessary.
Microwave
Break up the chocolate and put in a plastic bowl with the water.
Give the mixture of ingredients 10-20 second bursts in the microwave, whisking in between.
Do this until blended and warm.
Tips for extra flavour:
• Add a splash of Grand Marnier, triple sec or Cointreau.
Suggested dipables: Pretzels, salty popcorn, apple slices, pear slices, shortbread and marshmallows.
Serves 2-3

Valentine’s Day 2009
Well pick me for the chocolate!! Yum yum. That’s the fifth food group isn’t it? Or are you a purist and only believe in the four main groups? in which case I say that chocolate is a vegetable. You know, it comes from cocoa BEANS!!
Have a great day! and we’re really looking forward to spring here on the prairies.

Opps – I forgot to say with appologies to Oliver – the musical
I love chocolate brownies and chocolate cake.
NOTE:
there is a fairly new commercial for Hershey’s. The one that the whole screen is chocolate and there are a couple of people all made of chocolate. I firmly believe there are sublimal <-sp? messages in it!
I had to turn away from it…and mute the remote button when ever it came on. I was going a little “crazy ” for chocolate…I do love the stuff….but not so that I had to go and get some and then eat it till I felt ill??If any one else had this let me know…

Chocolate – what can I say it is one of those pleasures that comforts and satisfies in a moment.
Chocolate is our favourite comfort food. We have it at least 3 times a week.
chocolate:pure joy purely sensual and delectable.
Pure pleasurable indulgence alone or with others.
CHOCOLATE – NATURE’S GIFT OF COMFORT FOOD ! GREEN & BLACK’S IS THE BEST !
Chocolate fondue? It would be a treat to set a chocolate fondue table for my grown children and their sweethearts!
U have tried a few varieties of these chocolate bars over the past little while but am intrigued by the different flavours and percentage of cocoa.
Another big rush…..can’t wait!
Mmmm thanks!!
I bet this runs in families! I love chocolate, but have not come across the organic type yet.
…m/r…
Good chocolate is superb! Now I am a convert!
Chocolate!
Melt in your mouth,
Nibble like a mouse.
Add it to cooking,
Add it to baking.
Give it as a gift,
Treasure it for yourself.
Bitter or Sweet,
Always a treat!
I love biting into dipped orange slices and feeling the burst of juices and chocolate in my mouth!
chocolate fondue is a favorite New Year’s Eve dessert in our house and this is marvellous.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM CHOCOLATE!!
MY FAVORITE WEAKNESS!!
My husband and I met on March 17th, 1968, wouldn’t chocolate be the grooviest way to celebrate?
Wow…I was just reading the Feb. issue of Canadian Living…The article entitled, Spreads with Appeal. I was debating over trying one of the marmalade recipes as they look so appealing and easy. I guess this just answers my question. I can make your marmalade fondue recipe and it will be even more rewarding knowing that the marmalade is homemade.
Thanks for this!

chocolate….*drool* being a busy mom to a 21 month old rambunctious boy means chocolate is my “me time” nothing better than sending the kid to bed, relaxing on the couch with a good quality piece (or the whole bar) of chocolate…:)
i love chocolate so much..that when i have none in the house ,,,i simply take a spoon full of cocoa and put a wee bit of milk or cream warm slightly or not stir and eat..it taste like your eating a truffle! mMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Good!
