Chocolate Fondue

Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces

4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped into small pieces

1/2- 3/4 cup whole milk (depending on thickness preference, I use 1/2 cup)

1 -1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional (see note)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Flaky sea salt, for topping, optional

Directions

Start by preparing all of the ingredients/treats you will be dipping in the fondue. The preparation of the fondue goes quickly so you want to have all the treats and skewers (if using) ready!
To make the fondue, in a bowl, combine the chocolate, 1/2 cup milk or cream, and butter and melt gently in a barely simmering water bath or microwave on Medium (50 percent) power for about 2 minutes.
Stir until completely smooth. Add more milk if desired. Transfer to Rockcrok® Everyday Pan in the Rockcrok® Slow Cooker Stand, set to WARM and stir in the vanilla and salt.
Serve immediately and use the S’more and Fondue Sticks to dip fruit, cookies, desserts and marshmallows in the yummy chocolate.

Cook's Tips:

Use REAL, high quality chocolate bars. Simply put, the better the chocolate you use, the better your fondue will end up.

Unfortunately chocolate chips do not work great in fondue — the flavor isn’t quite right and they harden a lot quicker. Chocolate chips aren’t pure chocolate either, and that’s essential for a good fondue.

Butter results in a more mellow chocolate flavor. For a more intense chocolate fondue, leave out the butter.

Make sure the Rockcrok is completely dry and free of any water. Water will cause the chocolate to seize and ruin the fondue.

Experiment! You can add a lot of fun variety to a fondue by experimenting with new chocolate flavors and types.
