| June Fondue Recipe of the Month: |
|
| Sweet & Sour Sauce |
|
|
|
|
Perfect for graduation parties
or summertime luaus! |
|
| Store-bought sweet and sour sauce works well in Sephra fountains. Some sauces will run at the perfect consistency without any additional ingredients. One sauce we found that worked without thinning was Minor’s Zesty Orange Sauce. Other brands like Kikkoman or La Choy may also work well but need to be thinned slightly with water. |
|
| To test the consistency: Bring sauce to a medium heat and run it through your viscosity funnel. If it takes more than 10 seconds to flow through the funnel, thin the sauce with water. |
|
| 8 cups (64 oz) will be enough to run through the largest home fountains. |
|
| Heat: Medium |
|
|
|
| Suggested Dipping Items for |
| Sweet & Sour Sauce : |
|
- Chicken strips
- Pineapple
- Fried wontons
- Egg rolls |
- Ladle into sticky rice
- Grilled vegetables:
(broccoli, snap peas,
carrot slices, etc.) |

Warm, molten chocolate oozes from this
dangerously rich dessert. |
|
- 1½ cups Sephra Premium Milk Chocolate chips
- ½ pound unsalted butter
- 6 whole eggs
- 1½ cups sugar
- ½ cup flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
|
|
| Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12-15 medium-size muffin tins with cooking spray and sprinkle with sugar. Tap tins to remove excess sugar. Set aside. |
|
| Melt butter over stove. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, whisking until completely melted. If chocolate needs further melting, stir constantly over a low heat. |
|
| In a large bowl whisk together remaining ingredients until just blended. Slowly mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until combined. Fill muffin tins with approx. ⅓ cup batter. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cake tops are firm and beginning to crack and the edges are set. Remove from oven and serve immediately. |

| Yield: 12 servings |

|
| FAQ: What is the difference between Sephra Belgian and Sephra Premium chocolate? |
|
| Sephra Belgian chocolate is made in Belgium using European ingredients. Sephra Premium chocolate is made by the same chocolatier using a similar recipe at their North American plant. Both flow through the fountain without the addition of a thinning agent and both have a very high-quality taste and aroma! |

Macadamia
Nut Clusters |
|
| Go nuts for dads and grads! |
|
- 2 cups macadamia nuts
-
2 cups Sephra Premium Milk Chocolate chips
- ½ cup shredded coconut (optional) |
|
| Simply melt the chocolate in the microwave on half-power, stirring occasionally. Add nuts and stir until completely coated. Top with coconut if desired. |
|
| Some Twists: |
|
| - Stir coconut into chocolate instead of using as topping (increase quantity of coconut and chocolate used). |
|
| - Lightly toast nuts and coconut in the oven at 350°F before adding to chocolate. |
|
| - Substitute macadamias with Dad’s favorite type of nut. |
