The Holy Grail of Chocolate Fondue recipes!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so yummy. Your guests will rave about it. One warning: do not over heat it in the microwave. The first batch we... ruined because we over cooked it and it was clumpy and seperated. Luckily, the second time around it was terrific and smooth. Will definitely make again!Read more

Very tasty and easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not sure what the reviews stating that this was not sweet enough were talking about. Although I did add about an extra... tablespoon of sugar just in case and it turned out wonderful! It is more of a dark chocolate flavor, but with the sugar and wine there is no lack of sweet. I used Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate from the baking aisle at the grocery store and Yellow tail Cabernet. I had strawberries, blueberries, banana, orange, and mini cream puffs for dipping. No complaints from me! Turned out fantastic, even better than the chocolate fondue I've had out!Read more

Definite Crowd Pleaser!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this fondue for a wedding shower and it was delicious! Everyone raved about it and by the end of the night everyone... left with the recipe. Since then many of my friends have called because they have made it for other parties and it was a hit every time. It is not meant to be a really sweet fondue because it is made with semi-sweet chocolate. When cooking for a large crowd this is the perfect FAST recipe!Read more

Simple and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so simple to make. I have everything pre-measured and the chocolate chopped, so when we are finished with dinner all... I have to do is combine the ingredients and pop it in the microwave. Dessert is ready in minutes! Guests love it and it's such a fun way to have dessert!Read more

Chocolate fondue at its best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A simple and delicious recipe. We substituted the cabernet sauvignon with armaretto. We also used pineapples, graham... crackers, bananas, and marshmallows for dipping.Read more
