Happy New Year to friends of Grocer's Daughter Chocolate!
Leelanau Peninsula is covered in a big blanket of snow and now and then the sun peaks out to showcase the beauty of the dunes and the great lake in Empire. The small crew at Grocer's Daughter Chocolate are embracing a new decade and year with excitement to create new flavors to your palate. A new year brings hopes and intentions of healthier eating.

We entice you to try our chocolate-fruit creations
We dipped some our favorite dried fruits in deep, dark, flavorful chocolate.  The box we offer contains figs, ginger slices, cherries, apricots and orange peel.

We've sourced the best tasting fruit we could find and the cherries, apricots and oranges are organically grown. We've peeled and sliced and dipped to give you these fine flavors.

Approximate weight 14-15 oz

Chocolate fondue for 6 to 8 people who love chocolate

• 10 oz of dark chocolate* (55%-65%), coarsely chopped
• 10 oz heavy cream, 1/2 and 1/2 or coconut milk (a liquid)
• One or two Tablespoons of orange liquor or other favorite spirits

Heat cream to simmer, add chocolate and spirits.  Add chocolate, cover- let sit 2 to 3 minutes and whisk together.  Transfer to a fondue pot or a pretty bowl. Serve!

Choose a few dippables:

• Biscotti or pound cakes (cubed)
• Pretzels
• Cubed bananas
• Strawberries (cleaned)
• Freshly cubed pineapples
• Orange sections

Use fondue forks, bamboo skewers or seafood forks, as utensils, for dipping. Provide each participant with a small plate to catch the drippings.

If the chocolate seems too thick, add a little extra liquid.  If the fondue hardens to quickly, re-heat over simmering water or if using glass/other in microwave one minute 40% power.
