Chocolate Tasting TV: Diane Chesla
After several years of sourcing and taste testing chocolate for my signature event, The Chocolate Race I realized my taste for chocolate had become a tad discerning. I also learned that it can be a VERY fun industry if you let your imagination run wild! And chocolate can be interpreted in sooooo many ways! Chocolate Tasting TV is about sharing my enthusiasm for all things chocolate.

Pink Champagne Chocolate Fondue
My Sweet Lil' Recipe
450g 70% Dark Chocolate (I used Lindt Madagascar)
1 tsp coconut oil (natural as possible)
2 tbsp pink champagne
1 1/2 tbsp brandy
1. Break chocolate into small pieces & melt on medium/low in double boiler (I've also melted chocolate on the second lowest setting in a pot placed directly on the burner). Mix, mix mix!
2. When chocolate pieces are all melted, add remaining ingredients & mix well.
3. Serve with fresh, juicy strawberries!
