Introduction to the Finer Things

On Valentine's Day I made chocolate fondue for the kids. In the end we were elbow deep in the fondue dish.
The best recipe I have found for chocolate fondue was in Food and Wine (where else, right?).

1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 Tbl. sugar
6 oz semi-sweet to bittersweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
2 Tbl. unsalted butter

In a saucepan, mix the milk, cream and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the chocolate and remove the pan from the heat. Let stand until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes; stir until smooth. Stir in the butter.
Serve it with fruit and pound cake (THE best).
