Impress your Guests with Unique Dip Bites at your Next Fondue Dessert Party

Grabbing our long-stemmed forks and poking them into marshmallows, strawberries, wafer biscuits and cake pops, are some of the tits – bits that we have already tasted with the warm pot of chocolate sauce, haven’t we?

These food and snacks items are matured and old – fashioned. How about we look at some of the other interesting snacks that you could try at your next fondue party?

Be it a brunch get-together, a baby shower, a bachelorette or a quiet date night with your loved one at home, these food items will definitely tickle everyone’s sweet tooth.

Chocolate Fondue Dip Bite Ideas:

  1. Cheese cubes: Shocked? Don’t be.. This is sure to become your favorite and most loved bite at the party too. When the cheese cube is picked by the fork and dipped into the hot chocolate sauce, you can only imagine what a sight that will be. The cheese is going to melt lightly and the gooey taste of the cheese and chocolate is going to be a ‘treat’ to relish..
  2. Fresh Figs: Did you think only strawberries, bananas and apples will make great fondue dip cubes? Well, supposedly not. Fresh figs and warm chocolate can be a great combination! Try it to believe it.
  3. Ice Cream Balls: We are not kidding. Not one bit. Use melon scoops to fill a small bowl with ice cream balls. Now have these balls as bites with your chocolate fondue. You are welcome.
  4. Oreo Cookies: Wafers are boring and something that most of your guests would have already tried. Take it a notch higher and bring out those Oreo biscuits that are lying in your kitchen cabinets. We have all dunked them into milk, now it’s time to dunk them into melted hot chocolate. You are giving this a shot, aren’t you?
  5. Tortilla Chips: Ahaa! We caught your attention, didn’t we? Yes, these make great dip bites too. It would be a cherry on the cake if you got your hands on the cinnamon flavored ones. If you haven’t, no worries. We have a quick recipe for you:

Ingredients: For 8 tortillas

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp. Cooking Oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • Pinch of salt

Method:

  1. Mix all ingredients together
  2. Knead all the ingredients together and make it into a smooth dough
  3. Let it rest for 10 minutes
  4. Make small balls of the dough and roll out about 7-8’circle
  5. Cut them like you would do to a pizza
  6. Put them on a baking tray and bake them until light brown and crisp

For the final touch, sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon powder. Your tortilla chip is ready to be served with the chocolate fondue.

It is easy to copy the age-old trend of serving the conventional dip bites. But why should you do something like that when there are loads of options for you to try and experiment. During your next visit to the supermarket, just walk through the aisles and we are sure that you too could add more to this list of Interesting, fun and new dip bites for Chocolate Fondue.

Continue reading on How to make your dining table look more interesting with chocolate inspired foods:

  1. Chocolate Leaves

Ingredients Required:

  • Fresh clean mint leaves (or any other leaves of your choice)
  • A tooth pick
  • A spatula with a round handle
  • Melted chocolate (white, dark or milk)

Method: Apply a layer of the melted chocolate on the leaves and let them rest on the spatula handle for a while. Next, leave them in the freezer for a few hours, or until the chocolate has hardened.

Take them out from the freezer and gently peel out the leaves from the chocolate. You will notice how the veins of the leaves leave their mark on the chocolate, making the chocolate look so real and tempting to eat.

Leave them randomly on the table, or use it as a garnishing for your cakes or cup cakes. You can also fill a chilled bowl with these leaves and leave them on the centre of the table.

  1. Chocolate Filled Raspberries

 Ingredients Required:

  • Raspberries
  • Melted chocolate (white, dark or milk)
  • Bowl to serve

Method: Wash and rinse out all the water from the raspberries and set them aside. Use a small spoon or find an empty clean syringe and fill it with chocolate. Fill the raspberries with chocolate and leave it in the freezer for a few minutes. When the chocolate is hard, fill a serving bowl with these choco-raspberry fills and leave them around coffee tables for the kids to pop and enjoy.

  1. Chocolate Bowls

You may not be able to keep heavy and warm food in this, but you can definitely fill these bowls with chocolate leaves or the choco-raspberries.

What you need:

  • Water balloon
  • Chilled water
  • Melted chocolate (white, dark or milk)

Fill the balloon with chilled water and make a knot at the mouth of the balloon. Now dip the end of the balloon into a bowl full of chocolate and place it on a tray. You may have to hold this balloon from its top part until it is set at least half way through. Once the balloon is able to steady itself, leave it in the freezer for a few hours to set and become hard.

You can always try and get innovative with chocolates. Give it a try and if they do not turn out well, you can always melt it again and try something else.

Let us know what you think about these ideas in the comments section below.

Chit Chat With Mr.Salman Siddiqui – Master Chocolate Room Franchise – Central UP & East UP

Chit Chat With Mr.Salman Siddiqui – Master Chocolate Room Franchise – Central UP & East UP

Yes, everyone loves chocolate, and that’s what you’d love about this fantastic team who can visualize the possibilities with chocolate as none does.

And We came across one gentleman with this attitude. Introducing Mr.Salman Siddiqui (Master Franchise – Central UP & East UP). As how he could corner the market with The Chocolate Room in his territory. Mr Salman was into real estate earlier and has loved this Australian brand since 2017.

We had a small chit-chat with him. We came to know some interesting insights.

Hello Mr Salman, What do your customers like about The Chocolate Room (TCR)?

Hi! The customers love to self-explore our cafes. TCR never stops surprising the lovers of bakery-cafes & dining. People prefer TCR to celebrate their birthday & kitty parties. It’s the perfect ambience for family gatherings, office work, and even dating couples. The loungy and trendy interiors of TCR keep the decorum vibing.

How do you feel the café culture has picked up recently in India?

Yes, it has geared up like never before. Consumers don’t get that fresh aroma of coffee at home. They seek quality time and a fine-dine culture. We’ve seen a miraculous shift from local tea/coffee hang-outs to premium cafes; the aspiration of India is towards a developed country. So it’s more towards the lifestyle than just an edible spot. If a cafe can give consistency and a good experience, it gets added to the customers’ favourite list. Moreover,post-covid, where remote work has shot up, has helped us for more repeated consumers.

What’s different with The Chocolate Room from the cafes in your city?

It’s full of opportunities with an extensive range of packed products; It’s a full-fledged cafe with a live kitchen concept, freshly prepared bakery ingredients and bread. Our inventory changes every day, unlike other cafes. We’ve seen a good pickup of upto 45% of Packaged products and chocolate gift hampers from our shop-in-shop. With TCR, the quality, consistency, hygiene, freshness and taste go without saying. It’s a good business opportunity who want to invest in the cafe; they have all the models starting from 20 lacs to 2 cr. I haven’t seen such a level of support, motivation and innovation in India from any other franchise brand for cafes.

Your cafe is one of the best in Lucknow, as I have heard through the local bloggers and food communities. Congratulations to you for this achievement in such a short time. How do you see the growth of TCR internationally?

Thank you very much. I am thankful to our loyal consumers, staff & HO, who made us see this day. 🙂

Well, It’s going to be fabulous. TCR already has cafes in Australia, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Riyadh & London. Considering their price range and menu selection, it’s universal and I haven’t met a person on this earth who hates chocolates. 🙂

Haha! True That. Thank you Mr.Salman Siddiqui, All the best for your venture ahead too.

Wow! That’s Chocolate for All and All for Chocolate.

So if you’re hungry and got a chocolate craving just like I did, you know where to go. They’ve 300+ Cafes across India! Btw, You can order it online also.
