Picture yourself in a 1950s Malt Shop... Take a moment from the cares of daily life and travel back in time with this simple but refreshing concoction.
For each Egg Cream you prepare, you will need:
1 ounce half and half 2 Tablespoons Hershey’s chocolate syrup Chilled Seltzer water
In a tall glass, stir together the half and half and the Hershey’s syrup. While still stirring, pour in Seltzer water to fill glass. (Be sure to use a newly opened bottle of seltzer water for maximum fizz.) Serve with a straw.
Fast Fondue
Having friends over for dinner? A great dish that encourages lingering over dessert and conversation is a must. Our suggestion: chocolate fondue! It’s rich, creamy, and even a little healthy, if you consider the fresh fruit component.
2/3 cup dark corn syrup ½ cup heavy cream 9 oz semisweet OR milk chocolate, chopped (1 3/4 cups)
For dipping: assorted sliced fresh fruits such as apples, peaches, pears, strawberries, nectarines or pineapple; toasted chunks of pound cake; macaroons; brownie bites... anything you enjoy dipped in chocolate!
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the corn syrup and cream to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until completely melted. Arrange the fruits and other dipping bits on a platter. Pass toothpicks or skewer to spear the fruits for dipping into the warm chocolate.
