National Chocolate Fondue Day

February 5 is Chocolate Fondue Day, a made-up holiday that encourages people to get together with family and friends and enjoy a fondue pot of delicious and gooey melted chocolate. Chocolate fondue is easy to make at home.

The invention of Chocolate Fondue can be credited to a Swiss restaurant owner in 1960s New York City. And that person was Konrad Egli, who was motivated to add a dessert version of the dish to his restaurant menu at Chalet Suisse in New York.
