Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’re doing something fun today, with fun people! A friend of mine is hosting a dinner party, and I’m in charge of table decor and dessert. For the latter, I thought I’d make two chocolate fondue recipes and bring lots of yummy dippers (I definitely want to try bacon!)…

DARK CHOCOLATE FONDUE
- 12 oz. dark chocolate (or half milk and half bittersweet), broken in pieces
- 1-1/4 cups milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon(s) chocolate liqueur, if desired (also try Myers Rum, Captain Morgan, Amaretto, Grand Marnier or Kahlua)

I’ll be sure to take lots of photos and share the bits of our little celebration!
Hope you enjoy yours!
Sounds incredible! We are staying in tonight with the kids, but this would be a fun way to celebrate at home after they go to bed! ;-) Happy Val Day Erika!
I’m a huge hazelnut fan…so I definitely need to try this fondue!
Yum, this sounds delish and oh, how I love chocolate! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Looks delicious! Great for Valentine’s day or just any date night at home – thanks for sharing.
Had never thought to dip bacon in chocolate. But then I love salty chocolate so it’s probably delicious… will have to give it a try…
