Hello all. I was on planning on making Chocolate fondue tomorrow night for my in-laws for their anniversary. I SWEAR I thought I had a fondue set-but turns out we don't. What else can I use??? TIA!

They've got some for something like $20 at Target. I guess you could use a double boiler though, I'm just not sure how'd you keep it melted after you remove it from the burner (use a glass bowl over simmering water to melt the chocolate...very slowly). Make sure to put a little vegetable oil in the chocolate, no matter what you use for the fondue pot itself. The oil will help prevent it from hardening and makes the chocolate silky.

That was my last resort.

I'd go before the next bomb threat.

Haha:killingme
I would go to Target before Walmart!!

THANK-YOU!!!!!:howdy:

No problem. You could always melt chocolate, dip whatever you want in it, set the stuff in the freezer and take it out when they come over. Mmm, chocolate covered strawberry's, pretzels, marshmallows, cookies...

You could also add some white chocolate chips to the milk chocolate. That will help the hardening process better.

WHAT? You're married? So you've been lying to me this whole time.:smack:

Crock pots work

Crock pots work

You know I didn't think of that!! Thank-you!

Crock pots work

Definitely use a crock pot. I used mine to make cheddar beer fondue for Valentines, worked great.

Have fun.:howdy:

Awesome idea :clap:
Now, I had a thought... We use those removable plastic liners for the crock pot, usually, because it's so much easier come clean up time...but if that was used for this, can you pretty much put any leftovers in the fridge (or not, I don't know what is best) and then reheat them multiple times (I'm mostly referring to chocolate, because cheese and other things obviously would'nt keep as long)? :shrug: I'd make a big pot of it, if that would work, but if not then I'd probably keep it small unless there was company :smile:

Well if that is what you like go w/ that!

If it were me I would do a mixture of bitter sweet and semi sweet since the berries are sweet already :wink:

ahh, good idea.
so you're saying you just throw in a bunch of chocolate chips :shrug: :confused:
That was my plan, so if that is way off, let me know now :lol:

one 11.5 oz bag of store brand milk chocolate chips
about 1/2-3/4 cup...maybe more, I eyeballed it :shrug: 1% milk (just what we had :lol:)
Tasted great but I'd probably change it up and throw in another type of chocolate next time for even better flavor. Added the milk once the chips were soft, as I was stirring, stir until the milk is combined with the chocolate.

:yum:

I want fondue now :lol:

Glad I could help

Yes I am married. I would rather go to Target then Walmart!

Saw a lovely 1970 green fondue set at the thrift store in Charlotte Hall last week. Still in it's original box. Doesn't look like it had ever been removed.
