Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cream
  • 16 ounces good quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar, semi sweet or milk chocolate (about 2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • Things for dipping in your chocolate fondue such as: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana slices, apple slices, vanilla wafers, frozen cheesecake chunks, gummy bears, pound cake, graham crackers, angel food cake, pretzels etc. (select gluten free items if needed)

Instructions

  • In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, heat the cream until you just start to see steam coming off the top.
  • Remove from the heat and add the chocolate all at once. Let the mixture rest for 1 minute.
  • Whisk to combine well.
  • Add the peanut butter and stir to combine.
  • Transfer it to your prepared fondue pot and enjoy dipping in things.

Notes

  • Adding peanut butter gives the fondue a better texture. You won't notice it in the chocolate when you add 2 tablespoons. If you want a hint of peanut butter with your chocolate, add the full 4 tablespoons.
  • If you like a semi-sweet fondue, use semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you want a sweeter chocolate fondue, use milk chocolate chips. Good quality chocolate chips make a big difference when it comes to the end product. I like Ghirardelli chips for this recipe.
  • This makes a fairly thin fondue. If you'd like it to be a bit thicker, reduce the cream to 1 and 1/4 cups.
  • If you don't have a fondue pot, pour the chocolate fondue into a bowl and use long wooden skewers to dip into the fondue. The chocolate fondue will stay warm and dippable without a fondue pot for about 40 minutes.
