Tips
- • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor - semi-sweet or dark chocolate work best • Stir occasionally to prevent chocolate from burning or sticking to the bottom of the crock pot • Keep the temperature on low to maintain a smooth, silky texture • For variety, experiment with different chocolate types like milk, dark, or even white chocolate • Cut fruits into bite-sized pieces for easy dipping • Keep fondue warm by using the "warm" setting on your slow cooker • Have plenty of dipping items ready - from fruits to marshmallows to pound cake • Clean your crock pot immediately after use to prevent chocolate from hardening
