Easy Chocolate Fondue Recipes

Large gathering or intimate party of two, nothing goes over like chocolate fondue recipes.

Choose from white or dark chocolate fondues, or marbled. For something a little out of the ordinary, but equally delicious, try the Smores recipe. All should be served in a ceramic fondue pot or butter warmer over low flame. A warm bowl works well, too, if the chocolate is reheated from time to time.
