Sex in a cup; the fad that is fondue


What do Cheese, Chocolate and Caramel all have in common?

Apart from the fact they’re all so indulgent, they are bases for fondue.

Yes, Fondue has made like Madonna and come back in a big way, though Fondue IS NOT mutton dressed in lamb.

It was once seen as the daggy activity of the 70’s probably something all your parents partook in.

But I digress.

I always found that with fondue there was always too much chocolate left behind (however, if you want to, put in a bowl and keep it in the fridge overnight or until it hardens... it’s delicious and, could very well put Cadbury out of business).

That was until I found what I like to call “Fondue in a cup” provided by Coles in White and Dark Chocolate and Caramel.

Retailing at 1.99 it is, for want of a better word the bomb!

I’ve tried the dark chocolate dip with strawberries while watching Wimbledon back in June and normally with foods I will get over them quickly, like a child with a new toy but alas this “fondue in a cup” stands on its own.

It is a rich flavour that combines with sweetness with the strawberries providing for a climatic experience of flavour. Who needs sex when you have chocolate strawberries?

And the best part? When you finish all the strawberries and there is chocolate left over, use it on ice-cream or chocolate ripple cake, it adds a little flair that makes traditional chocolate topping something to turn your nose up at.

This Coles chocolate dip is inexpensive and with the price of strawberries it is a cheap indulgence, cheaper than a pack of rubbers!

Once you try it, or at the very least in my case, you can’t go back!
