Ingredients
- 55g/2oz sugar
- 55ml/7fl oz water
- 200g/7oz plain chocolate, broken in pieces
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- selection of fruits cut in bite-sized pieces such as orange, banana, grapes, dates or pineapple.
Method
Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until the sugar melts and the mixture resembles a syrup.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not lot the base of the bowl touch the water.)
Stir in the golden syrup and enough sugar syrup to form a smooth sauce. (Caution: the chocolate mixture will be very hot, allow to cool a little before serving.)
