The addition of good-for-you dippers like bananas, grapes, apples, pineapples, oranges and even angel food cake help keep things from being a little too calorie laden, while delivering some yummy chocolate “slime.”

Chocolate Slime Fondue
from HalloweenIsHere.com

8 2-ounce bars of baking white chocolate
2 tablespoons heavy cream
6 to 12 drops green food coloring
Angel food cake, cut in large cubes
Red and green grapes, rinsed and removed from stem
2 to 3 bananas, sliced into 1-inch rounds
2 to 3 red or green apples, rinsed, cored and sliced
2 oranges, peeled and divided into sections
1 to 2 pineapples, cut into large chunks

~ In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate uncovered in a microwave set on medium-high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for additional 10- to 20-second intervals until smooth. Don’t overcook.

~ Add the cream and food coloring and stir thoroughly.

~ Keep warm in a double boiler or fondue pot and present with cut cake and fresh fruits. Use the proper utensils for dipping the food into the fondue — fondue forks or similar.

Has anyone tried the promotional Shrek Snickers bars? Green coloring has been added to the nougat inside the bar though from what I’ve read it doesn’t seem to affect the taste.

I’m going to look for some when I head to the store later today, hopefully they’ll still have some! This will totally freak my kids out.
