Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes
Total: 15 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 16 ounces high-quality chocolate (semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (or a mix) (high-quality chips or roughly chopped bar))
  • 1/2-2/3 heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Chocolate: In a saucepan or stovetop-safe fondue pot, combine the chocolate, heavy cream, and milk. Warm over low heat, stirring often, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Don’t let it boil!
  • Add Vanilla & Adjust Consistency: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If the fondue is too thick, whisk in a little extra milk or cream—just a splash at a time—until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Keep Warm for Serving: If you used a saucepan, transfer the fondue to a fondue pot or small slow cooker to keep it warm while serving.
  • Serve with Dippers: Enjoy with your favorite dippables—fresh strawberries, banana slices, mini Rice Krispie treats, marshmallows, or cookies are all delicious options.
  • Storing & Reheating Leftovers:
    Store any leftovers in the fridge. To reheat, warm gently over low heat, stirring often, until smooth.

Notes

I used 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3 oz of chopped dark chocolate. Feel free to swap the dark chocolate for milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
