I’ve been making this for several years. It is just so easy, and I usually have the ingredients on hand:
12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
(I like it dark, but you could use milk chocolate if you prefer.)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (adding more as it thickens)
Many recipes call for a tablespoon of various flavored liquors. You could also use a teaspoon of vanilla, rum flavoring, or almond flavoring instead. I like to experiment with different flavors!
When my fondue pot is being used I just put all the ingredients in a small crockpot. It’s ready in about two hours. By the way, you don’t need a fondue pot to have a fondue party. We did it for years using our crockpot! Not as pretty in the pictures, but it works!
Our favorite dippers: strawberries, pound cake, rice krispi treats, pineapple, and various marshmallows.

oh that looks fun. I might have to try that sometime.
Looks really simple. We always do a chocolate fondue on Christmas Eve
I totally forgot about Fondue, thank you for sharing this easy recipe. I think I will be making this and making an average night a fun family night. I like the idea of dipping rice krispy treats in the fondue.

Sounds delicious! I will have to get a small crockpot or a fondue pot tho. My crockpot is huge and is used to feed the family dinner (I forget the size but big.) It would make a lot of chocolate tho
My kids love chocolate fondue!
My daughter is always talking about the fondue fountain we tried at a family party we went to. I guess I should try this recipe and just buy a fondue machine. She would love this recipe
