Ingredients

Scale

Fondue

  • 12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 6 oz Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt

Dippers

  • Marshmallows
  • Graham Crackers
  • Pretzels
  • Fresh Fruit (such as strawberries, apple slices, banana)
  • Cake pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Measure out the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt to have everything ready before starting.
  2. Combine in Crock Pot: Place the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips into a small 2-quart crock pot. Add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt on top of the chocolate. Do not stir yet.
  3. Cook on Low: Cover the crock pot and set it to the low heat setting. Allow the mixture to melt slowly for 1 to 2 hours, which helps prevent scorching and ensures a smooth texture.
  4. Stir Periodically: Every 20 to 30 minutes, carefully remove the lid and stir the chocolate mixture thoroughly. This helps to evenly melt all the chocolate and incorporate the cream for a silky fondue.
  5. Check Consistency: After about 1 to 2 hours, the chocolate should be fully melted and smooth. If needed, continue cooking and stirring in 10-minute intervals until the desired consistency is reached.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer the crock pot to the table or keep warm on low. Serve with your favorite dippers such as marshmallows, graham crackers, pretzels, fresh fruit, or cake pieces. Enjoy dipping and savoring the rich chocolate fondue!

Notes

  • Use a small 2-quart crock pot for best results to avoid burning or overheating.
  • Stirring every 20-30 minutes prevents chocolate from sticking and burning.
  • You can add a splash of liqueur such as Baileys or Grand Marnier for an adult twist.
  • If the fondue thickens too much, stir in a little more cream to thin it out.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream for the heavy whipping cream and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Keep the fondue warm on low heat but avoid cooking on high to prevent curdling or burning.
