Toblerone Dark Chocolate Honey-almond Fondue

Description
Cheese fondue originated in Switzerland, but chocolate fondue was a New World recipe created in 1964 by Konrad Egli, a Swiss-born chef working at New York's Chalet Swiss restaurant. Zurich's Toblerone chocolate works well in the dish, because its honey-nougat blend echoes the honey and almond flavoring that are also in the recipe.

 * 3 	tablespoons honey
 * 7 	ounces toblerone bittersweet chocolate (2 3.52-ounce bars) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

 * 1/4 	teaspoon almond extract
