The Chocolate Bar’s Fondue To Go
If you live in Kuwait, or have visited in Kuwait, then surely you must know The Chocolate Bar! Open for a decade now and still is the destination for chocoholics -in case you didn’t know already that is-, they have have some of their famous dishes like the pink pasta and the hot chocolate available for online to go orders. Remember when I posted once about the Chocolate Bar hot chocolate and cookies that are delivered right to your step? I recall that I wished for the chocolate fondue to be available for delivery as well and, seems like this is the month were many of my wishes did materialise for the Chocolate Bar did indeed introduce their very own chocolate fondue to go by ordering it online!
The Chocolate Bar to go is available online on 965flowers.com and they only have two open delivery periods. I wanted to have the fondue delivered to a gathering at my friend’s PinkGirl place directly and we were supposed to be there at 6 while the delivery period said between 6-10 P.M. Because we were starting with a BBQ dinner I thought that there wouldn’t be any harm ordering and waiting for the fondue, even if it arrived at 9 or 10, for we wouldn’t be having desserts until then so I placed my order. To my surprise, the chocolate fondues arrived at 6 P.M. on the dot, even before myself! Excellent delivery service!
After dinner, and plenty of fries and burgers for the girls, I had to restrain myself from finishing the mounds of fries on the table because I really, really wanted to indulge in the chocolate fondue. There are two types of fondue that are available for order: the classic with 3 types of chocolate (milk, dark, and white) and the candy bar fondue with one with melted toblerone chocolate, nutella spread, and caramel crunch chocolate.
Each type of fondue came in a compact carton box, when you lift up the lid you will find four packets of utensils with napkins and a card with instructions on how to prepare the fondue. The card said to heat up the chocolate bowls in the microwave but the chocolates were already in liquid form and we didn’t mind having them at room temperature so we skipped that step. Not that I had any say in the matter you see, the moment the boxes were open and the familiar Chocolate Bar aroma wafted at us all you could see was a flurry of movements that involved popping open all the plastic lids and dunking stuff in liquid chocolate pots.
With each box there were three chocolate pots along with strawberries, chopped chocolate chip cookies, marshmallows, cubes of pound cake, oatmeal cookies, and cubes of chocolate brownies! There are no banana slices though, because usually bananas tend to turn black and sticky once cut, but no matter we got a banana from a nearby fruit bowl and chopped it up. By the time my camera was ready there were liquid chocolate spots all over the boxes!
Who needs to stand in line to get their names on a waiting list and sit upright well dressed and well behaved to have a taste of Chocolate Bar’s fondue? You can have those in wearing your pyjamas, dunking your fingers, slurping the liquid chocolate in one gulp, hogging the entire thing to yourself and no one would know -except your metabolism who might protest but then the army of endorphins released will take care of it at once-. Would you look at that?
Oh and that’s the chocolate crunch pot…
And this is how the night had unfolded, with tea and chocolate drenched fruits and cake. I have to say I don’t recall ever having Chocolate Bar’s brownies or dunk any in the chocolate fondue before but it is officially my absolute favourite ingredient, hands down!
All I can say afterwards is, thank god for the wet napkins! I actually have an embarrassing picture of myself with liquid chocolate all over my face, highlighting the goofy ear-to-ear smile I was sporting but I think its too embarrassing to share here. Maybe one day.
If you love the Chocolate Bar fondue then you must, must, MUST try and order it at home especially if you are feeling down and need a pick me up or if you have a gathering. Do keep in mind that each box might be enough for two to three sharing people, four max. Also, you must wear protective gear and if you are planning on having people eat it in a civilised manner you might want to arrange it on the table nicely before the guests lay eyes on it otherwise there can be shoving and dunking and dripping and hogging. You can order it from here (link).
Thank you Chocolate Bar for this amazing product! You truly made our day the other day! Now is it possible to have the Tuna Salad without Tuna available for takeaway as well? And your fries? and the sandwiches? and the Maltesers and Turkish Coffee shakes? And add the different flavours of hot chocolate as an option, like the Spanish one for people who love it? I know its a long list of demands but one can only hope y3ni, pretty please?
