What is a good recipe for chocolate for cake fondue for kids?

What kind of chocolate is best for dipping angel food cake (in a fondue pot) for a kids party? Is there something that can just be melted down, or is there a simple recipe?What is a good recipe for chocolate for cake fondue for kids?
This recipes is tried and true and has been tested so many times that I know it works perfectly every time. The recipe calls for a liqueur, but since you're dealing with children, leave it out and add a little extra vanilla. It's not that the small amount of booze is bad for them, but if they are anything like my 4 year old, they'll say "yuck, what's that?"

This recipe can be made in advance and will keep for 30 days in your refrigerator.

The other nice thing about this recipe is if you have leftovers you can do any one of the following:

FROSTING: for every 1/2 cup of leftover chocolate, whip it with 4 tbl. unsalted butter for a fantastic chocolate buttercream.

TRUFFLES: let fondue cool, then, using a melon baller, scoop it into balls. Dust your hands with unsweetened cocoa powder and shape and coat balls. These make great gifts.

Are you sure you really want to get into fondue at a kids party??



metal spears and hot melted chocolate plus kids just sounds like a recipe for disaster.



If you're sure you want to go through with it, I'd get some nice milk chocolate - I usually use Ghirardelli. I use it for chocolate covered pretzels and when I make my chocolate covered peanut butter eggs. Works really well...and my kids have always preferred milk over semi sweet chocolate.
For a kids party, just buy jarred hot fudge topping, it works great and is super sweet so they'll like it.
