Smores Chocolate Fondue Recipe (aka S'mores)

A new take on a favorite old camping recipe… but it's still chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers warmed over an open flame.

1 cup cream
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup marshmallow cream

Slowly warm the cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the chocolate pieces, stirring until melted. Stir in the marshmallow cream and warm the mixture. Transfer to a warm fondue pot.

Serve with graham crackers and marshmallows, of course. Serves 6 or more.

Marbled Chocolate Fondue Recipe

The use of both white and dark chocolate gives this one an outstanding look among dessert fondues.

1 cup heavy cream
10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped

Heat the cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, about 2 to 3 minutes. When hot, add the chocolate and stir until it is just melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla. Transfer to a warm fondue pot. Sprinkle the white chocolate over the top, and draw a spoon or knife through the mixture 2 or 3 times, just enough to marble it.

Serve with your choices of fresh strawberries, bananas, apple wedges, pound cake, ladyfingers, and biscotti. Serves 6 or more.

Variations:
Substitute 2 to 3 tablespoons of kirsch, brandy, rum, or orange liqueur for the vanilla.
