NEW YORK – It’s fun, it’s groovy, it’s fondue and it’s for two. Famed potter and artist, Jonathan Adler, has created this ultra swanky fondue pot exclusively for Chocolate Bar. Each one is hand-thrown and stamped with the Jonathan Adler and Chocolate Bar label. Chocolate Bar’sFondue For Two by Jonathon Adler ($85.00) features one natural toned ceramic fondue pot, 2 fondue forks, a tea light, 2 signature bittersweet bars by Chocolate Bar and a complete fondue recipe card. This limited-edition piece showcases the fusion of Chocolate Bar and Jonathan Adler’s signature modern yet whimsical styles, and blends form and function with no fuss. We recommend surrounding the pot with heaps of accompaniments such as fruits, marshmallows, cinnamon pastry straws, fresh pound cake, and sprigs of mint leaves. Fondue, a culinary phenomenon that keeps reinventing itself originated in Switzerland as a classic peasant dish comprised mainly of Emmenthaler and/or Gruyere cheese and wine. Fondue was made popular in the 50’s as the centerpiece for every dinner party and later followed by Chocolate fondue in 1964 tantalizing our taste buds and melting our hearts. Read Chocolate Bar’s new book entitled Chocolate Bar: Recipes and Entertaining Ideas for Living the Sweet Life for unique fondue recipes. Press please contact Devon Mack via mack@workhousepr.com
