Chocolate fondue is one of the easiest party desserts there is, and it always feels special. This grown-up version gets a splash of Baileys Irish Cream; leave it out (or add a little extra vanilla) for a kid-friendly pot. Set out fruit, cake and cookies for dipping and let everyone dig in. It’s perfect for New Year’s Eve, date night or a holiday open house.
Best things to dip
- Strawberries, banana slices, pineapple and apple slices
- Marshmallows and pretzels
- Cubes of pound cake, brownies or angel food cake
- Shortbread cookies, graham crackers and biscotti
Tips
- Melt gently over low heat so the chocolate doesn’t seize.
- Keep it warm in a fondue pot, small slow cooker on warm, or a bowl over warm water.
- Too thick? Stir in a little more warm cream.
