Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces chocolate dark, milk, or white, chopped or as chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1 tablespoon liqueur Baileys, Kahlúa, or rum, optional

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Equipment:

  • Use a fondue pot for serving or a heatproof bowl for melting the chocolate.

Melt the Chocolate:

  • Stovetop: Place the chocolate and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Microwave: Combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth.

Enhance the Flavor:

  • Stir in the vanilla extract, liqueur, or a pinch of salt if desired.

Transfer to Fondue Pot:

  • Pour the melted chocolate into a fondue pot to keep it warm. Use low heat to prevent burning.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Arrange your chosen dippers around the fondue pot and start dipping.
