Recipe notes
You can also use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Whatever is your preference works.
The foods you use to dip can change depending on your imagination. Add a sponge cake, pretzels, Rice Krispy treats, caramels and so much more. The sky’s the limit!
If you don’t have a fondue pot, you can use a double boiler. If you are going to use a homemade double boiler make sure the pot or bowl you use to melt the chocolate in is very dry. Any water in your melted chocolate may make your chocolate seize up.

Prepared this fondue dessert for granddaughters who’re very fussy eaters. Got “two thumb’s up” from both of them! Could only find heavy whipping cream which worked ok. Just added an additional tablespoon of cream to obtain the desired consistency. In addition to suggested dipping food, we included pirouette cookies for dipping. Wonderful, easy recipe to enjoy!!
Loved this! I doubled the recipe and used half Toll House milk chocolate chips, half Ghirardelli semi-sweet chips. Also substituted creamy peanut butter for the crunchy. Yummy! Thank you!
It was a hit!!! I tripled the recipe for 10 people, and everyone loved it!!!
Wow! That must have been a fun gathering!
Perfect copy – delicious!
