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.

If you want to purchase a fondue pot, I do like the electric kind. Amazon has a great one that is reasonably priced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the fondue?
Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate for dark chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Adjust the amount of cream as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
What if I don’t have a double boiler?
If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows?
Yes, you can use marshmallow fluff as a substitute for marshmallows. Add it gradually and stir until well combined with the melted chocolate and cream.
How do I keep the fondue warm while serving?
To keep the fondue warm, use a fondue pot with a tealight or small burner underneath. Alternatively, you can place the bowl of fondue over a bowl of warm water to maintain the temperature.
How do I prevent the chocolate from burning?
Keep the heat low and stir continuously while melting the chocolate and cream. Using a double boiler helps to gently heat the chocolate and prevent burning.
