I get rave reviews for the Cool Creamy Chocolate Fondue. And the strawberry bruschetta has been very popular this season as well.

Here are the recipes for a Chocoholics Delight Show that I have. I have to give PamperedGinger the credit for this one.

Banana Brownie Split Pizza,
Chocolate Praline Cake,
Magic Cookie Bars,
Gooey Caramel Chocolate Cake

Making desserts are one of my favorite shows! There are so many to choose from! I'd find out if your host wants chocolate or fruit. That will narrow down the choices.

Let us know what she'd prefer and we'll give you some more ideas.
