Heavenly
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for a potluck and it was a hit. Easy to make and the results are out of this world. Strawberries are the best... dipper for this fondue. I made one small change. Not wanting to invest in a whole bottle of Grand Marnier, I substituted 2 tbsps orange juice plus 1/2 tsp. orange extract for the 2 tbsps liqueur. The only problem with this recipe is that I'll have to resist making it more often!Read more

Very yummy - a party favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this recipe for a holiday party and it was a huge hit! My husband isn't a fan of semi-sweet chocolate, so I... substituted half milk chocolate and half semi-sweet, and it was still just delicious. Served with almond angel food cake, shortbread cookies, pear slices and strawberries. Even though I doubled the recipe - it was one of the first things to disappear! Will make this again and again.Read more

Absolutely WONDERFUL
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for my "ladies" mah jong group.....they absolutely loved it and stood around the fondue pot and said that they'd... rather eat the fondue rather than play mah jong....now that's a rave review. Very easy to make. Grande Manier is expensive but the clerk at my local liquor store advised me to just by the little "sample" bottles which were $4 each. Only used a little from one bottle so everything was perfect.....served it with pears, pinapple, cantelope, strawberries, honeydue, pretzels, pound cake and biscotti......Try it......Read more

WOW! WOW! WOW!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This fondue is just heavenly! So simple, but so fabulous! I used Ghiardelli semi-sweet chocolate since that was the best... brand my store had. It worked well. The orange zest AND Grand Marnier add a lovely layer of taste, but they don't detract from the deep chocolate flavor. My family LOVED it. And when almost everyone else left the table, my sister-in-law sat and licked the little fondue bowl clean. THANK YOU INA!!!Read more
