1 cinnamon stick
Poundcake cubes, marshmallows, banana chunks, strawberries or cherries for dipping

Steps

1. In top of double boiler, combine both chocolates, cream, mascarpone, sugar and bourbon or liqueur. Fill bottom of double boiler with water; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Place top of pot over simmering water. Heat until melted, smooth and warm, stirring often. Remove from heat.
