You Will Need (8 things)

  • ¼ cup Shortcake Cookies
  • 1 cup Chocolate
  • Wire Cutters
  • Candle (s)
  • Altoids or Aluminium Tin
  • 26 Gauge Wire
  • ¼ cup Marshmallows
  • ¼ cup Strawberries

Steps (9 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Find a nice square tin and remove the lid.

  2. 2

    Bend a piece of wire in to the shape of the tin. Make sure it fits nicely around the tin. Re-inforce the wire shape by wrapping more wire around it.

  3. 3

    Cut 4 strips of wire, each about 10". Fold each strip in half, leave a small loop at the bottom and then twist the wire until about half way up.

  4. 4

    Attach each strip at each corner of the wire rectangle.

  5. 5

    Re-inforce the whole frame by wrapping more wire around it. You have now made your stand.

  6. 6

    Place your tin in to your stand. Make sure it's nice and secure.

  7. 7

    Pick a nice selection of fondue treats. I recommend strawberries, sliced banana, shortbread cookies and marshmallows.

  8. 8

    Light a tea light candle and place it under the frame and tin.

  9. 9

    Place a few pieces of chocolate in the tin and leave to melt. Dip your goodies in chocolate and enjoy. Mmm.
