Can’t face braving the cold? Then what better way to spend your bonfire night, than curled up under a blanket with some home-made chocolate fondue, and toasted marshmallows for company.

Serves: 5-6

Cooking time: 10-15mins

What you’ll need:
400g (14 oz) dark chocolate (preferably 70-85% cocoa solids)
85g (6 tbsp) butter
284ml  (1 cup) double cream
300ml  (1 1/4 cups) milk
One large bag of marshmallows
Wooden skewers

What to do:
1. Place chocolate, butter, cream and milk into a saucepan and heat gently until melted and silky smooth – pour into a bowl.

2. Meanwhile pop the marshmallows onto the skewers, and carefully toast over a small flame.

3. Dip into the chocolate fondue and eat right away.
