Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • Banana slices (about 2 bananas)
  • Marshmallows (mini or regular size)
  • Biscotti or ladyfingers
  • Apple slices (firm varieties like Granny Smith)
  • Brownie bites or pound cake cubes
  • Graham crackers
  • Optional: Pretzel sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dippers: Wash and dry all fresh fruit, then slice the bananas, apples, and cake into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them neatly on serving plates.
  2. Set Up the Double Boiler: Fill a medium saucepan with about an inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top, making sure the bottom doesn’t touch the water.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Add the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips to the bowl along with the heavy cream and butter. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula as the chocolate melts, aiming for a smooth, glossy texture.
  4. Flavor It Up: Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Taste carefully and tweak sweetness or richness if needed.
  5. Transfer to Fondue Pot: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into your pre-warmed fondue pot to keep it warm and melty throughout the party. Set on low heat.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Pass the fondue pot and dippers to your guests with fondue forks ready for action. Encourage everyone to mix and match for maximum fun.

Notes

Stir the chocolate every 10-15 minutes to keep it silky. If it thickens too much, add a splash of warm cream to loosen it up. Pat fruits dry to avoid water in the chocolate which causes clumping. Use wooden or silicone-tipped forks to avoid heating issues.
