DIRECTIONS:
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the cream until tiny bubbles show (be careful not to boil). Add the chocolate and salt, and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Add and stir in vanilla and/or liqueur, if using.

Immediately transfer chocolate mixture into a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame, or serve straight from the pot.
