Fantasy Fondue

This delicious chocolate fondue is the perfect accompaniment to fresh fruit and buttery pound cake. For Valentine's Day, we use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the pound cake into small, bite-size pieces and serve the fondue with fresh strawberries and bananas. For an even more festive events, serve with Champagne.
