How To Make Chocolate Fondue

All you need is chocolate chips, a can of evaporated milk, vanilla extract and in this case, some dark rum. Because you know we have to add our little boozy touch to this epic dessert.

Yes, of course, you can leave the rum out if you like. Just simply omit it from the recipe and you’ll be good to go. But if you’re good with the boozy addition, you can also add bourbon, amaretto or flavored vodka instead of the rum.

Microwave the ingredients in a bowl in 30 second intervals until it’s completely smooth. Stir the chocolate fondue in between microwaving to help it along. This fondue will stay liquid for about 3 to 4 hours, definitely long enough for dessert to take place.

But if it does firm up on you, just pop it into the microwave and soften it up again. Now let’s talk about what to dip in this chocolate fondue!

What Ingredients Can You Use For A Dessert Charcuterie Board?

Pretty much anything you can think of that you like to snack on. We’ve got a bunch of ideas here but there’s so much more that you can use!

• Berries and Fruit: Any berry, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, bananas, even blueberries on a toothpick. Cut up fruit like kiwi, melon and apple slices or dried fruit.
• Cookies: Vanilla wafers, Oreos, graham crackers, shortbread cookies, sugar cookies, gingerbread, the list goes on. Head down the cookie aisle at your grocery store and see what looks good!
• Candy: Things like marshmallows (perfect for making a s’more!) caramels, rice crispy treats, peanut brittle, even gummy bears!
• Salty Snacks: Potato chips, pretzels, vegetable chips, popcorn, or spicy chips for that sweet and spicy bite.

Making a dessert charcuterie board really couldn’t be easier. It’s just a matter of gathering all your “dippers” and assembling them onto a marble or wood cutting board. Also, there’s no need for anything fancy if you don’t have a nice, big board to serve this on.

Gather up different size bowls and plates and just set them out on your table. Doing it that way also makes it easier for your guests to grab what they want instead of reaching across the table.

You can also make this a white chocolate fondue recipe by using white chocolate chips! Or make both and let everyone dip into what they want. Dessert boards like this are so fun to make for parties, it’s fun to see what combinations everyone comes up with.

And Valentine’s Day? Man, is this the recipe for you. No cooking involved, hardly any prep work so that you can sit down and enjoy each others company. Just add champagne or a signature cocktail and the night is complete!
