What is fondue?
Fondue is when you dip small pieces of food into a liquid substance. Our "go to" is Chocolate Fondue. However, we love making a meal out of fondue so we use peanut oil in our fondue pots and cook steak, chicken, and shrimp!
It makes for a very fun meal! Perfect for holiday's or special occasions.
If you've never had chocolate fondue, PREPARE YOURSELF! This Easy Chocolate Fondue with Ghirardelli Chocolate is fantastic! Did I mention it's also easy to make?!

Notes
Hello. I'm wanting to make this recipe in a 3qt electric fondue maker. Should I double the recipe? I want to make sure I have enough. Expecting 20 people. Thank you.
Grace,
We also use a 3 qt. fondue machine. 1 batch fits greats but we usually do 1 1/2 batches and it's just right. As a frame of reference 1 batch will make approximately 3 cups of fondue.
Thanks,
Cassie and Sadie
Do you think this will work in a small slow cooker?
Hi Julie!
First of all, thanks for stopping by!
My sister and I worried the chocolate will burn in a slow cooker because you aren't able to control the exact temperature throughout the cooking process. We'd avoid the slow cooker just to be safe.
Hope you make it and love it,
Sadie
Does this recipe solidify after cooling? Does it need to remain warm to be dip-able? I want to pre make it and keep it at room temperature.
Hi Manda!
This fondue solidifies, but will still be soft. We recommend keeping it warm so it’s dip-able! If you choose to make it ahead of time, simply warm it before serving!
I made this for Valentines-super easy and very yummy! I have left overs, can I freeze it?
