Due to a lack of time, I have pretty much given up any plans to actually decorate for St. Patrick's Day but I didn't want to miss out on all of the fun! I have been loving all of the rainbow ideas {you can see some of them here}, so we decided to have a little family rainbow chocolate fondue over the weekend.
{Connor actually dug into the fondue before I had a chance to take a picture thus the destroyed rainbow!}
We are all huge chocolate fans around here, so for us, nothing beats a chocolate fondue! I was planning on using cream puffs for the clouds but forgot to get them when I was down grocery shopping. Thank goodness we always have marshmallows!
CHOCOLATE FONDUE
- Stirring frequently, heat 1/2C whipping cream over medium heat until it just starts to bubble. Remove from heat.
- Add approximately 150 grams semisweet or milk chocolate chunks {we just broke up a chocolate bar}. Let them soften in the whipping cream for a couple of minutes and then whisk until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a fondue pot or serving bowl. We had plenty of chocolate left over.

Matthew also picked out some stylish Shamrock glasses at Walmart for us to wear.
We thought we should have a little practice before St. Patrick's day arrived!
Hope you all have a rainbow filled week!
