Smoked Salt

In a small sauce pan, pour 2″ water and set over medium-high heat. Place a metal or glass bowl over the top of the pan to

create a double boiler.

Pour the cream into the bowl and let get warm. Add the chocolate chips and melt, gently stirring occasionally with a rubber

spatula or a wooden spoon. When the water begins to boil, turn the heat off.

Once the chocolate mixture is melted, gently whisk in the butter until it’s completely incorporated.

Pour into a warm bowl or fondue pot and sprinkle with the smoked salt. Artfully arrange the dipping items around and

serve.
