Ingredients

  • 4 premium chocolate bars (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Assorted dippable treats (strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, pretzels, pound cake, etc.)

Directions

  1. Break the chocolate bars into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate pieces.
  3. Microwave the bowl on medium heat for 1 minute intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and cream in a double boiler over low heat on the stove, stirring constantly.
  5. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, transfer it to a fondue pot or a heat-resistant serving bowl.
  6. Arrange the dippable treats on a platter, ready for dipping.
  7. Place fondue forks or skewers next to the treats for easy dipping.
  8. Light a fondue burner or tealight candle underneath the fondue pot to keep the chocolate warm and melted.
  9. Dip a treat into the melted chocolate, coating it completely, and enjoy!
  10. Repeat with different treats and savor the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
  11. Remember to stir the chocolate occasionally to prevent it from hardening.
  12. Add more cream if the chocolate becomes too thick.
  13. Keep the fondue going for as long as you like, adding more chocolate and cream as needed.
  14. To clean up, simply let the leftover chocolate cool and solidify before discarding.
  15. Wash the fondue pot or serving bowl in warm, soapy water.
