Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt butter and chocolate chips over low-medium heat.
- As the chips begin to melt, add 1/4 cup of milk, stir well, and add more milk if a thinner fondue is desired.
- Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and dip strawberries into the warm chocolate sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. If you want a hint of flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the melting chocolate. If strawberries aren't available, feel free to substitute with bananas or marshmallows. For a fun twist, try dipping pieces of cake similar to those in Yum Yum Cupcakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chocolate fondue warm for the best experience. Arrange fresh strawberries on a platter and invite guests to dip them in the melted chocolate. For a complete dessert experience, you could also include other dippables such as pretzels, marshmallows, or even pieces of cake like those from Marilyn's Brownies. This dish pairs beautifully with coffee or a sweet dessert wine.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chocolate fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm the fondue in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. You can add a splash more milk if the chocolate has thickened too much. Avoid using a microwave, as it may cause the chocolate to seize.
