Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped into small pieces
- 4 ounces milk chocolate chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup whole milk depending on thickness preference, I use 1/2 cup
- 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter optional, see note 1
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Flaky sea salt for topping, optional
Dipping Ideas
- Fresh fruit such as bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, clementines, etc.
- Cookies Oreos, Pirouette cookies, Milanos
Instructions
- Start by preparing all the ingredients/treats you will be dipping in the fondue. Making the fondue goes quickly, so you want to have all the treats and skewers (if using) ready!
- To make the fondue, in a small bowl, combine the chocolate, 1/2 cup milk, and butter (if using) and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
- Stir until completely smooth.
- Add more milk if desired. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Serve this warm fondue immediately with whatever you’ve chosen for serving.
- If the fondue gets too thick (or starts to harden), reheat in the microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds until melted and smooth again.

Notes
Note 1: Butter results in a more mellow chocolate flavor. For a more intense chocolate fondue, leave out the butter.
