My husband, Mark, and I, we've always been about simple pleasures. Big fancy gestures? Not really our thing. For our tenth anniversary, I wanted to do something special, something that felt…'us'. Remembering our first date where we pigged out on cheap chocolates from a vending machine, I thought, 'Why not elevate that memory?' I decided to make a chocolate fondue, but, like, the fancy kind you'd get at a swanky restaurant. After all, we deserved to celebrate us!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Ensure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand before starting. This includes your choice of chocolate, heavy cream, and any flavorings you desire.
- Chop the chocolate: Finely chop the chocolate into small, uniform pieces. This will help it melt evenly and prevent scorching.
- Heat the heavy cream: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat. Do not boil. You're aiming for a gentle simmer.
- Add chocolate to cream: Once the cream is simmering, remove it from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate and let it sit for about a minute to soften.
- Stir until smooth: Gently stir the chocolate and cream together until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Be patient; it may take a few minutes.
- Incorporate flavorings: If using, stir in any flavorings such as vanilla extract, liqueurs, or spices. Mix well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Transfer to fondue pot: Pour the chocolate mixture into a preheated fondue pot. If you don't have a fondue pot, a small slow cooker on the 'warm' setting will also work.
- Keep warm: Maintain a gentle heat under the fondue pot to keep the chocolate warm and melted. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Prepare dippings: Arrange your choice of dippings around the fondue pot. Popular options include strawberries, marshmallows, bananas, pretzels, and cubes of cake.
- Start dipping: Use fondue forks or skewers to dip your chosen items into the chocolate. Twirl to coat evenly, then enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
- Enjoy immediately: Chocolate fondue is best enjoyed immediately while the chocolate is warm and melted. Don’t be afraid to double-dip (just maybe not if you're sharing with others... unless you are into that!).
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate. Adjust the amount of heavy cream for a thinner or thicker consistency. A pinch of sea salt can enhance the chocolate flavor.
