The Best-Ever Chocolate Fondue Recipe ~~ It's So Easy & It's So Delicious, Too!
Believe it or not, I stumbled upon this recipe in a quick search of the internet. My teenage sons wanted a chocolate fondue; one had won a 400 gram Toblerone chocolate bar as a prize. New Year's Eve was coming and I was not feeling organized or motivated...we had all the bits for dipping in the house including the Best Ever Banana Bread, strawberries, fresh pineapple, apples, mandarin oranges and bananas but we did not have a recipe for actually making the chocolate sauce. My online search quickly unearthed a multitude of choices for the best-ever chocolate fondue recipe. Many were almost identical. Because of the last-minute nature of our planning, we choose an extremely simple one. A trip to the grocery store was in order for the lone missing ingredient -- whip cream.
How was I to know that this simple little recipe was so delicious? How could I know that it was so delicious that I would be forced to 'clean' my plate? Am I glad there was no camera present at our little gathering? You bet! I cannot imagine a chocolate fondue recipe that could surpass this one.
Whether you are planning a fondue recipe for a special occasion like your anniversary, Valentine's Day, the Christmas season, New Year's Eve or simply as a special treat, this recipe is perfect. It is incredibly easy (just three ingredients for the chocolate sauce) and you can take my word for it that it is delicious!

The Best-Ever Chocolate Fondue Recipe
It is hardly worth writing out, the recipe is so easy!
This chocolate dessert recipe easily fed two adults, three teenagers and one adult who does not like chocolate and, therefore, was not dipping. We did have a lovely dinner beforehand.
You will need:
6 tablespoons of whipping cream
400 gram Toblerone chocolate bar
1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions:
You will need:
6 tablespoons of whipping cream
400 gram Toblerone chocolate bar
1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions:
- Melt the chocolate and the cream together either slowly on your stovetop or in your microwave. Add up to 1 tablespoon of milk if your mixture seems too thick. Pour into your ceramic fondue pot and place it over a tealight. (A tealight is a small candle.)
Yes, that is it! The sauce is so simple and easy to put together. (You will not believe how yummy it is.) You should, however, prepare your dippers in advance. That will take a bit of time but the nice part is that you can use whatever appeals to you and the majority of the work is done before your guests arrive!
You Will Need One Giant Toblerone Swiss Milk Chocolate Bar with Honey and Almond Nougat
(Photo by W.R. Miller)
Toblerone was trademarked in 1909 and is actually an Alp in the mountains in Switzerland. In the almost two pound triangle-shaped chocolate bar there are 15 peaks of chocolate! Toblerone is a delcious chocolate, this one a combination of milk chocolate, honey and almond nougat.
Plus As Many Dippers or Dunkables As You Care To Prepare
Whatever you call them, these are some of the things you can dip into your chocolate sauce! The list, it seems, is endless.

For our fondue party, we used a pretty basic selection of dippers including The Best Ever Banana Bread, strawberries, pineapple pieces, banana slices, apple and orange wedges. Your choice can include, but should not be limited to, any of the following options:
- Fresh Fruit - Strawberries, pineapple chunks, sliced bananas, orange and apple wedges, grapes, raspberries and blueberries.
- Cakes - Sponge cake, angel cake, banana bread and pound cake.
- Other Sweet Treats - Biscotti, cookies, brownies, cheesecake and even doughnuts!
- Dried fruit - Candied orange peel, raisins, figs, plums, apricots and cherries.
- Miscellaneous Ideas - Anything goes! I have even seen salted pretzels, nuts, crystallized ginger and marshmallows suggested!
To maximize the flavor of your chocolate and your dippers,
don't serve your fondue too hot!

"For a fondue party, I cooked cheese and chocolate fondue in three different pots: one that was metal, one that was a ceramic bowl set in a copper bowl, and my new Emile Henry pot. The Emile Henry pot cooked the best, by far. ~~ Nicole A. Stewart
Tradition states that if a lady loses her food into the fondue pot, she must kiss the gentleman who is sitting on her right. If a man loses his food in the fondue pot, he must empty his glass or provide another bottle of wine for the meal. I am not sure how this applies to a chocolate fondue but I do know, that by the end of our fondue, a certain young gentleman and young lady were dueling in the pot over the last remaining strawberry...I think it was his strawberry so maybe he owes us all a bottle! Kirsch, anyone???

Just In Case You Enjoyed The Chocolat Movie Soundtrack At The Beginning Of This Page...
This instrumental soundtrack is the perfect CD for your romantic fondue!
Click here to buy Chocolat from Amazon
$12.99
One Amazon customer, Victoria Tarrani, wrote in her review, "Although I have not seen the movie Chocolat, I love the soundtrack." She said that she visited a bookstore and spent hours browsing through the collection of books, CDs and movies. She listened to several of the songs on Chocolat at one of those audio stations and knew she was going to have to buy the CD.
Vianne Sets Up Shop is the song you listened to at the top of this page and you can check out more of the songs by clicking right here to visit Amazon. Victoria says that 'Minor Swing' has a Spanish feel that lifts her spirit; 'Main Titles' makes her feel like she is watching clouds or floating on a lake; 'The Story of Granmere' is haunting and sad; and that, 'Vivianne Sets Up Shop' has a sensuous feel. She plays it while she works in her office and cannot get enough of it. She closes her review with, "some day I will see the movie. Until then I willingly give up my troubles to let the music wrap around me. Five stars and magic."
I cannot think of a better soundtrack to listen to if you are having a romantic fondue. I am still searching for the right music for our more boisterous fondue party...
