Who doesn’t love to dip things in chocolate or maybe even in a Chocolate Marshmallow Fondue? I mean, the possibilities are endless! Some of my favorites to dunk in chocolate are strawberries, bananas, pineapple, apples, and marshmallows. And what better occasion to do some chocolate dipping than Valentine’s? It’s the perfect treat to celebrate this holiday with those you love.

I have a simple fondue for you today that includes marshmallows in it. The marshmallows don’t really stand out as a flavor in the fondue but add to the texture. It makes this fondue nice and thick. This way you don’t lose any chocolate goodness after you dip whatever you are dipping! I have a list below of ideas for chocolate fondue dippers.

Ingredients for Chocolate Marshmallow Fondue

• CHOCOLATE CHIPS (I USED SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS)
• WHIPPING CREAM
• MINI MARSHMALLOWS

Instructions for Chocolate Marshmallow Fondue Recipe

Melt the Chocolate and Cream: In a double boiler, heat cream with the chocolate over low heat on the stovetop. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and combined with the cream, creating a smooth mixture.

Add and Melt the Marshmallows: Once the chocolate and cream are well combined, add the marshmallows to the mixture. Continue to heat and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and the fondue is smooth and creamy.
