Dipped in Chocolate

December ushers in the ultimate season of sweets. This unusual but easy-to-make treat will turn your party's dessert tray into the most popular spot in the house.

Brittle Fondue
Microwave 1 (12-oz.) package semisweet chocolate morsels and 3/4 cup whipping cream in a medium microwave-safe glass bowl at HIGH 1 minute, whisking once after 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth. Transfer to fondue pot. Serve with peanut or pecan brittle. Makes 8 servings. Prep: 5 min.

• While peanut brittle is readily available at most grocery stores, you might have to search a little harder to find pecan brittle. But don't worry―the Internet is a great resource for this product. Start your search with www.lalagniappe.com, www.lcandy.com, or www.paulineshandmadebrittle.com.

"Inspirations" is from the December 2006 issue of Southern Living.
