Divinely rich and silky smooth, the Classic Chocolate Fondue has the most balanced chocolate flavour, which appeals to almost everybody. Neither too sweet nor bitter, this combination of molten dark chocolate with buttery sauce and fresh cream just takes you to seventh heaven when enjoyed with chewy marshmallows, pieces of vanilla sponge cake or even fruits. Some people like to make it even richer by using creamy milk chocolate and brandy, but remember that might get too rich for some!

A box of handmade sweets, lovingly prepared by you, is perhaps the warmest way to greet a special someone. And if you have not been doing this, under the assumption that chocolates and sweets are tough to make, then here is a recipe that will change your opinion right away. White Chocolate and Pistachio Balls features a tantalizing combo of coconut and white chocolate, which is sure to delight anybody you offer it to. You may replace white chocolate with dark chocolate, if you wish to, so the easy, no-fuss sweets can be perfectly customized to your taste.

Bananas and strawberry are a great combination, thanks to their complementary flavours. Here, bananas and strawberry ice-cream come together in a glass, in a form that pleases kids and adults alike. While strawberry and bananas are always a favourite with kids, the coffee-soaked vanilla sponge makes the Banana and Strawberry Bonanza appeal to adults too. Readily available mixed nut chikki makes a great garnish for this creamy treat.
