Smores Chocolate Fondue Recipe (aka S'mores)

A new take on a favorite old camping recipe… but it's still chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers warmed over an open flame.

1 cup cream
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup marshmallow cream

Slowly warm the cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the chocolate pieces, stirring until melted. Stir in the marshmallow cream and warm the mixture. Transfer to a warm fondue pot.

Serve with graham crackers and marshmallows, of course. Serves 6 or more.

Marbled Chocolate Fondue Recipe

The use of both white and dark chocolate gives this one an outstanding look among dessert fondues.

1 cup heavy cream
10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped

Heat the cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, about 2 to 3 minutes. When hot, add the chocolate and stir until it is just melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla. Transfer to a warm fondue pot. Sprinkle the white chocolate over the top, and draw a spoon or knife through the mixture 2 or 3 times, just enough to marble it.

Serve with your choices of fresh strawberries, bananas, apple wedges, pound cake, ladyfingers, and biscotti. Serves 6 or more.

Variations:
Substitute 2 to 3 tablespoons of kirsch, brandy, rum, or orange liqueur for the vanilla.

Taco Lasagna

Please pay attention to note at the end. Also, I used about another 1/4 cup of taco sauce than the recipe calls for. And I don't think I used 10 tortillas, I think I only used 8 or 9. And if you use the biggest size tortilla, it's a little too much.

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 c. chopped green pepper
4.5 oz. can green chilies
2.5 oz. package taco seasoning
2 c. taco sauce
3 c. Colby/jack cheese
10 flour tortillas

Brown beef. Add onion, pepper, chilies and taco seasoning. Spread ½ c. of the taco sauce in the bottom of a coated 9x13 pan. Layer with 5 of the tortillas, folded in half to fit across the dish. Layer with ½ of meat mixture, 1 c. of the taco sauce, 1-1/2 c. of the cheese; repeat. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted. (I used minced onion instead of chopped onion and a pepper seasoning blend instead of chopped pepper. I put the can of chilies in the blender so they were not chunky. I think I also used 4 cups of cheese instead of 3.)
