Ingredients

  • 24 ounces milk chocolate chips (2 bags or the equivalent weight in Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream or more for thinning

Instructions

  • ON THE STOVE: Melt chocolate in a double boiler on low heat. Once chocolate chips are melted, slowly add heavy whipping cream until you reach the desired consistency. 
  • IN THE MICROWAVE: Combine chocolate and heavy whipping cream in a microwaveable bowl. Heat for 1 minute and stir well. Heat another 30 seconds and stir. Continue heating in 30 second increments and stirring until you reach the desire consistency.
  • Transfer to fondue pot or a mini crock pot at the warm setting to keep warm. If the fondue will be used right away, it will stay warm in a heavy ceramic bowl. If it starts to thicken too much, simply reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir.

Variations:

  • You can also add 1/4 cup peanut butter for a different delicious flavor!

Notes

  • Use any leftover fondue for hot fudge sauce.  It is delicious over ice cream!
  • To reheat in the microwave: reheat for one minute in a microwave safe bowl and stir thoroughly. Repeat in 30 second increments until hot.
    On the stove: Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Add more heavy cream to thin out the sauce if it gets too thick.
