FLAMING TURTLE CHOCOLATE FONDUE RECIPE

CHOCOLATE FONDUE INGREDIENTS

* 12 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
* 2 tablespoons heavy cream
* 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
* 1 tablespoon 151 rum
* 3 tablespoons chopped pecans

CHOCOLATE FONDUE INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the chocolate and cream in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly; or combine the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 30-45 seconds.

Be careful not to let the chocolate burn. Pour into a warm fondue pot.

Pour the caramel into the center of the chocolate mixture. Do not stir.

Add the rum to the pot and ignite carefully, using a long wooden match or lighter. Allow the flame to burn out and stir gently to combine.

Sprinkle with the pecans.

Keep fondue warm over low heat.

Serves 4 to 6.
