Okay, I have the 3 bags of chocolate - so how much milk do I add when I put it in there?


And do I put it on low and just let it sit then stir? TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

Here's a simple recipe:


Chocolate Fondue

  • 14 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk or whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons liqueur (optional), or 1 teaspoon vanilla, peppermint, or almond extract (optional)

In a small saucepan, heat cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Cover and let stand for five minutes; using a whisk, beat the cream and chocolate mixture together until smooth. Stir in liqueur or other flavorings.


Transfer chocolate mixture to a fondue pot and light the flame to keep fondue warm. Serve with your choice of dippers. After serving, stir occasionally and add a bit more cream or milk if the fondue becomes too thick.


Makes about 6 servings.

Here's a chocolate fondue crockpot tip:


Or use a small crock pot set on low heat to keep your fondue warm. The crock pot option is handy too, because you can let your ingredients melt while you're doing other things. Just remember to stir the fondue mixture every 30 minutes or so.
