Pralines and chocolate fondue make for a very romantic evening, says local chocolate company Max Brenner. We loved their package (one of many options) that includes Pure Milk chocolate thins, dark chocolate thins and white chocolate thins – all for the chocolate fondue. Cut a banana or another fruit, skewer and dip in the melted chocolate. The package includes a small fondue making enough for two with two forks and a small box of pralines. As always – the designed Max Brenner boxes are a great bonus. NIS 219.
