Fondue By Cy Chen The Sexy Dessert Alternative When it comes to a romantic meal or dessert, fondue is wonderful way to share the experience. A favorite among fondue connoisseurs, and a great one for beginners is a chocolate fondue. Chocolate is synonymous with romance and Valentine’s Day, and sharing desserts dipped in this decadent sauce can only enhance any romantic night out. In San Diego, we’re lucky to have a restaurant specializing in fondue, and they offer a few iterations of the decadent chocolate. The Melting Pot has two delicious locations (La Jolla and Downtown), and you can sink a variety of yummy dippers such as strawberries, bananas, pound cake, brownies and cheesecake into their luxurious chocolate goodness like The Original (milk chocolate swirled with crunchy peanut butter), the Flaming Turtle (milk chocolate, caramel and candied pecans flambéed at your table), or you can mix your own decadent creation from a selection of chocolates and liquors. Are you feeling like staying at home and getting cozy with your loved one? Here is a lovely fondue set for two, made to share the experience privately. Create your own sweets to dip in chocolate melting slowly by candlelight. Put on a romantic movie or background music and you’ve got a lovely night in. www.thegoodsmag.co 67
