It's been a while since I posted a slow cooker recipe. It's not that I haven't been using my slow cooker, just that I have been slack at posting! Lol!
This one is fantastic for the kids and grown ups alike and makes a quick and easy dessert which is not only delicious but not as bad for you (ok, minus the chocolate and cream) as some! It's also great for us Queenslanders who are currently in the middle of strawberry season!
You need:
1 packet chocolate buds or buttons. I used a large packet of dark chocolate
1 container thickened cream
Fruit pieces including strawberries, bananas etc. You could also use marshmallows or assorted lollies.
Turn slow cooker on high and fill with some water.
In a heat proof bowl put chocolate buds and cream. The ratio is about 4 : 2 tablespoons (ie for every 4 tablespoons of chocolate, put in 2 tablespoons of cream). Mix together.
Sit heat proof bowl in the water that is in the slow cooker (so make sure that your bowl fits before starting this recipe).
Place lid on slow cooker and heat for about half an hour, stirring occasionally.
When melted through, serve in a bowl so that fruit can be dipped into chocolate. We used skewers to handle the fruit pieces.
Enjoy!
