You can take advantage of one of the microwave oven's simple talents; melting chocolate, by making a chocolate fondue dessert.

Ingredients

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or high-quality chocolate bar broken in bits
• 1 tbsp. heavy cream or sour cream

• Whipped cream
• Strawberries, orange or tangerine sections, grapes, cantaloupe, and apple slices

Instructions

1. In the microwave, melt the chocolate on High, uncovered, for about 30 seconds. Stir it every 10 seconds to determine whether it has melted: it will retain its shape unless it is stirred.
