What is Chocolate Fondue Made of?

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?!

Expert Tips
  • Serve with raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, bananas, pretzel rods, marshmallows, rice crispy treats, and pepperidge farm butter cookies & milano cookies.
  • Extra fondue can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To reheat you can use either a fondue pot or in microwave in 10 second increments. *Be sure to stir after each 10 seconds to prevent scourging.
  • We don't recommend using a small crockpot to heat you fondue unless it has a temperature control.
  • We have found the results are best when using our favorite fondue maker. It can be used for both oil and chocolate!
  • Make a double batch....you won't regret it!

    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!
