The other day I wrote about my daughter surprising me with a Hershey’s Fondue kit when she got home from school. Well tonight was the night, we had Chocolate Fondue for dessert after dinner. Dinner was leftovers, which was simple and easy, so having a fun dessert like chocolate fondue gave us something to look forward to afterwards!
On my way home from work today I got some fun items to dip into the fondue: apples, strawberries, chocolate chip cookies, and wafer cookies. I have to say, there’s nothing like a chocolate chip cookie dipped in smooth, warm chocolate!! The recipe included in the box also had some dipper ideas.
The Hershey’s Fondue Kit came with two recipes, one for a Milk Chocolate Bar Fondue and one for Chocolate Lover’s Fondue. I looked at both to see which one I had all the ingredients for, and it was the Chocolate Lover’s Fondue. No coincidence there, right?!
Here’s the recipe:
CHOCOLATE LOVER’S FONDUE
INGREDIENTS
2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) Hershey’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup light cream or half and half (I used half and half)
1/2 cup sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1 Combine chocolate chips, light cream (or half and half) and sugar in heavy medium sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is hot.
2 Pour into fondue pot; serve warm with Assorted Fondue Dippers. Makes about 2 cups fondue.
Assorted Fondue Dippers: marshmallows, cherries, grapes, mandarin orange segments, pineapple chunks, strawberries, fresh fruit slices, cake pieces.
Here are some photos from our fun dessert!

Can you tell Elizabeth is excited? She got the first bite of fondue since it's her kit.
