Easy Chocolate Fondue Recipe with Marshmallow Creme
This recipe is shockingly quick. It’s ready as quickly as you can melt the ingredients.
Kids love the idea of fondue. If you’re trying to get them to eat more veggies, you should try my cheese fondue recipe (sub out the beer with apple juice) and they’ll be eating cauliflower and broccoli in no time. 
How to Make Chocolate Fondue
Ingredients for Fondue
- Unsweetened chocolate
- Marshmallow creme
- Butterscotch chips
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
What I love most about this fondue recipe is that it’s all done in the microwave, although you could use the stovetop. Melt your butterscotch chips and unsweetened chocolate, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth. Transfer to your fondue pot or bowl and you’re ready to dip! A fondue pot isn’t necessary but it helps keep the fondue warm, which is best for dipping. I own this fondue pot (affiliate link) and I love the double boiler feature.

Can you make chocolate fondue ahead of time?
When you’re planning a party, it’s always nice to have recipes you can make or prep ahead of time. Chocolate fondue can be made ahead of time. Make it up to 2 to 3 days early and store in the fridge in a covered dish.
Can you reheat chocolate fondue?
Yes, you can reheat fondue. I’ve only used the microwave and it works well for this purpose. Place fondue in a microwave-safe dish and reheat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Reheating in a slow cooker on low for about an hour is also an easy way.
Can you make fondue in the crockpot?
Making chocolate fondue in the slow cooker is a great way to save time. Just put all the ingredients inside a buttered crockpot and cook on low for about an hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes. Watch the edges for burning. It’s easy and once it’s finished, just turn it down to warm.
What’s the best chocolate to use for chocolate fondue?
This recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate because the sweetness is coming other ingredients. I’ve never made any other recipe, but here are a couple of options.

The butterscotch chips in this really make it for me. I’ve tried a lot of chocolate fondue recipes and never would have thought to use butterscotch. It really rounds out the flavor. I’ve already had several people ask me for the recipe!
