you will need a small metal pot, preferably one with a copper bottom since
 it distributes heat well:
 4 tbsp. Dutch cocoa powder (Hershey's is fine!)
 4 sticks butter
 1 cup sugar
 1 cup molasses
 1 tsp. salt
 Heat the butter in the pot and clarify.  To it add the cocoa powder, very
 slowly, as it will tend to clump if you are stirring rapidly and pouring
 slowly.  Then add the sugar and whip until sugar caramelizes (until there
 is no more gritty texture--you may use powdered sugar too, but this also
 tends to clump).  Then add the molasses --very slowly-- and the salt.  Mix
 until creamy and slowly bubbly.  
 I like to eat the fondue with strawberries, small pieces of apple, and
 sometimes pound cake!
 Best,
 Sylvia
