Remember that awkward first date? Mine involved a slightly burnt pizza and a whole lot of nervous laughter. But amidst the chaos, there was a genuine connection. Now, years later, anniversaries are a big deal. Not just dinner reservations and fancy gifts, but something made with love. That's where this Chocolate Covered Raspberry Anniversary Fondue comes in. It's sweet, it's a little messy, and it's perfect for sharing – just like a good marriage, right?
This isn't your regular chocolate-covered anything. We're elevating the experience with a simple yet decadent fondue. Imagine plump, juicy raspberries, each one a tiny burst of summer, getting a luxurious bath in silky smooth chocolate. The contrast of tart and sweet is just chef's kiss.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gently wash the raspberries under cool water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of chocolate adhesion!
- Prepare your double boiler: Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. If you dont have one, simply use a heatproof bowl over a small pot.
- Add chocolate and melt: Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in the bowl. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If needed, add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to help thin the chocolate and create a smoother consistency.
- In a separate small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over low heat. Do not boil!
- Pour the warm heavy cream into the melted chocolate and whisk until well combined and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. This will help the chocolate adhere better to the raspberries.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Holding a raspberry by its stem (or using a toothpick/skewer), dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- Place the dipped raspberry on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat the dipping process with the remaining raspberries.
- Once all the raspberries are dipped, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- If desired, melt white chocolate and drizzle it over the chocolate-covered raspberries for an elegant touch. Or, sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Store the chocolate-covered raspberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed within 24 hours.
