Homemade Chocolate Fondue Recipe

Here’s a recipe for homemade chocolate fondue when nothing else will do! Ever been to one of those trendy eateries, where you come out feeling 50 pounds heavier but $100 lighter? Personally, everyone in my family adores places like that, from the eldest all the way down to the youngest – picky eaters and all. Something about those little skewers paired with the quality and variety of ingredients tends to transcend age, taste or cultural barriers. Not to mention, it’s just dang good.

Wouldn’t it be great to make your own homemade chocolate fondue – complete with yummy dipping items and skewers? You might think that its too hard in the past, but trust us, this recipe is super easy, super yummy and will have everyone clamoring for more. Now let’s get dipping!

Ingredients

• 10 oz. of milk
• 2.5 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 oz. of honey
• 4.5 oz. of organic corn syrup (non-gmo)
• 10 oz. of chocolate (we like a mix of bittersweet/milk choc pieces)
• 2 tbl unsalted butter

Directions

Pour the milk into a pan, and then add the vanilla extract to it. Add the honey, corn syrup, and let the mix come to a slight boil. Add the chocolate at this point, and let the chocolate sit in the pan unstirred for 30 seconds to become softer. Whisk to coalesce, then add the unsalted butter and whisk some more to combine.
You are finished! Place with desired dipping pieces. We usually use cut up fruit, like grapes, pineapples, apples, bananas and strawberries, as well as some crackers, marshmallows, and cookies.
