We love chocolate fondue… and we really love this unique way to serve it this Halloween season. Everyday with Rachel Ray featured this unique pumpkin bowl.
Melting Pot
For a fondue Halloween dinner party, cut a hole in the top of a pumpkin just large enough to hold the rim of a small bowl; fill the fondue pot with melted chocolate and serve with cubes of pound cake.
While you’re at it, try out Rachel Ray’s Chocolate Fondue recipe:
Chocolate Fondue

- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
