Chocolate Fondue

This has been our “go to” Chocolate Fondue recipe for more than 4 decades! Easy and delicious! It’s the perfect dessert for a crowd.

Chocolate Fondue

Many years ago we would add a TBSP of Grand Mariner, but that doesn’t go over well with the girls, but tip a liqueur in if you want. The type of milk chocolate you use may change the CHO. We use Halloween sized “Aero” because it is peanut free: 24.5 little bars.
