Ingredients

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon optional: liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier, Kahlúa, or Amaretto)
• 3 cups assorted dipping items (e.g., strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, pretzels, pound cake cubes)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your dipping items by washing, cutting, or arranging them on a platter before you start making the fondue.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan or fondue pot, combine the heavy cream and salt over medium-low heat. Warm the cream gently until it just begins to steam, but do not allow it to boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, and slowly add the chocolate chips to the cream. Stir constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract. If you're adding liqueur for a boozy twist, stir it in at this point as well.

Step 5

Transfer the chocolate fondue to a fondue pot over a tea light or low flame to keep it warm. Alternatively, serve it straight from the saucepan if eating right away.

Step 6

Serve with your prepared items for dipping. Use fondue forks, skewers, or even regular forks to dip your favorite treats into the chocolate.

Step 7

Reheat leftover fondue gently on the stove or microwave with a splash of cream if it thickens.
