The strawberry is held by a light wooden skewer, and the chocolate coats about three-quarters of the strawberry, leaving the top red part exposed with its seeds visible. The strawberry and chocolate are inside a black round container filled with more glossy dark brown chocolate, with swirled textures on the surface. The background has a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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, fruit, cake, or your choice

Instructions

Step 1: Place the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt into a small crock pot (about 2 quarts works well).
Step 2: Cover and cook on low heat for 1 to 2 hours, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 3: Once melted, keep warm in the crock pot and serve with your favorite dippers for dipping and enjoying.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Add a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier or Bailey’s for an adult twist.
If your chocolate seems too thick, stir in a little more cream to reach your desired consistency.

Try different dippers such as sliced bananas, strawberries, or biscotti for variety.

Storage

Store any leftover chocolate fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat or in the crock pot on warm, stirring frequently to restore smoothness.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use a larger crock pot for this recipe?

Yes, you can use a larger crock pot, but a smaller one helps keep the chocolate warm and melted more evenly without it spreading too thin.

What if my chocolate seizes or becomes grainy?

This usually happens if water gets into the chocolate. Stir in a little warm cream slowly to help smooth it out, and avoid any contact of moisture with the chocolate during melting.
