History of National Chocolate Fondue Day

Chocolate Fondue is one of the best party desserts as it is a delicious and enticing experience. Celebrate National Chocolate Fondue Day on February 5 by inviting your friends over to dip fruit, cookies, and marshmallows in melted chocolate.

The fondue was originally a melted cheese dish that originated in Switzerland as a way of using and serving hard cheeses. The word "sauce" is derived from the French verb "fondre" which means "to melt", which is the best way to describe the process of turning hard cheese into a paste that you can dip into noodles.

The first known recipe for cheese sauce dates back to 1875. At that time it was presented as a national dish of Switzerland. Chocolate fondue was invented much later. In the mid-1960s, Swiss restaurateur Konrad Egli started serving chocolate fondue at his restaurant to promote Tobleron chocolate.

Chocolate fondue is a great thing for a dinner party. Its rich and delicate flavor appeals to children as well as adults. Foods that can be dipped in molten chocolate include fruits and berries (e.g., strawberries, grapes, banana slices, tangerines), cakes (cookies, crackers, muffins), Rice Krispies Treats, marshmallows, etc.

Of course, the secret of a good chocolate fondue is in its ingredients. For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality baking chocolate as it is said to melt well. Some people add some rum or kirshwasser to the melted chocolate for a little extra flavor.

I'm sure there's been chocolate fondue forever but now it has its own day. A day full of dedication! There's nothing wrong with celebrating just one holiday! That's what we tell ourselves during the winter holidays, so why not now? Makes perfect sense to me.

What exactly is a marinade, you may ask? Fondue is defined as a dish in which small pieces of food are dipped in a hot sauce or hot cooking medium such as oil or broth. Even the drawing makes my heart skip a beat! It doesn't have to be just cheese as people think and the prize goes to whoever is the first to put a chocolate bar in their fondue!

There are good restaurants around the world that are making a name for themselves with fondue. If you have one in your city or town, I would make time to stop by today in honor of Chocolate Fondue Day. If there aren't any marinades near you, you can go to your favorite search engine and pick up a few recipes and turn your dining room into a sauce heaven. Just invite some friends and choose your skewers and have fun!
