Holiday Fondue

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Truvia® Natural Sweetener for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My family loves fondue.

It is so easy and fun. 

There is just something about having your own stick to dunk chunks of fruit,

 into rich, creamy chocolate that is irresistible!

I had the opportunity to choose a dessert from the Truvia® website

that I would like to make.

Of course, the fondue caught my eye!

I gathered unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, skim milk, 

Truvia® spoonable natural sweetener and vanilla extract...

then I simply put everything but the vanilla in a heavy saucepan,

and brought to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly...

 I reduced the heat and simmered for 3 minutes until it was thick, 

removed from the stove and whisked in the vanilla...

that was it!

I called in the kids and we each grabbed a Santa Hat fondue stick...

we dipped in a variety of fruit...

but the banana was everyone's favorite...

and then it was time for the gingerbread men...

they took a swim in the chocolate pool!

I have a confession to make,

I didn't tell my kids that I was making fondue any differently than usual....

and they had no idea!

It was exactly like using regular sugar.

It has the same sugar-like taste and texture but has 75% fewer calories and twice the amount of sweetness.

It is made from the stevia plant that is native to Paraguay, where people have grown, harvested and used it as a sweetener for hundreds of years.
