Gingered White Chocolate fondue image

A triple dose of ginger, candied, ground and fresh, lens extra sophistication to this snowy white fondue. Serve with bite size squares of angel food cake, pineapple chunks, dried apricots, Chinese fortune cookie and, of course, gingersnaps. When buying white chocolate, be sure the label lists cocoa butter as a major ingredient. Confectionery coating, also called summer coating will not work for this fondue.Unknown source
