Chocolate Fondue

Ever since I first had fondues at The Melting Pot (a few years back, at least), I wanted to figure out how to make them for myself.  The cheese fondue was fairly easy; the chocolate proved more challenging.  I've tried a few different recipes and never gotten the desired result...until now!
I consulted a couple of recipes, with my main inspiration coming from this one:

I also found out how to make the awesome coated marshmallows (thanks, Google!)  It's amazing simple--just use hot tap water in a bowl, roll the marshmallow in it, then roll it in crushed Oreos or graham crackers and let dry.  Easy!



Ingredients:

4.4 oz (big bar) Hershey's milk chocolate
3.5 oz bar Lindt 70% dark chocolate
1/2 c. plus around 1 1/2 T. heavy cream
splash vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Heat the chocolates together over low heat in a saucepan.  Stir until melted completely.

2. Stir in the heavy cream, pouring in slowly as you stir.

3. Add splash of vanilla, stir in, then remove from heat.

4. Transfer to a fondue pot and set on lowest setting to keep warmed (mine has a setting that just says "WARM").

5. Enjoy with the dippers you prefer!  In this case, I had strawberries, graham cracker coated marshmallows, and Oreo coated marshmallows :)
