Chocolate Fondue at Home

I had chocolate fondue for the first time several years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s so yummy and perfect for any chocolate lover. We went to a fondue restaurant which was really pricy, but this chocolate fondue recipe can be made at home for a lot cheaper than at a restaurant. Then take your dip and turn it into a chocolate fondue platter!

For this chocolate fondue recipe you’re going to need:

• ¾ cup of Chocolate Chips
• 8 oz. of Cool Whip

• (3) Strawberry Rice Crispy Treats (cut in half)
