Can you flavor homemade fondue?
If you're not a fan of strong chocolate flavors in this chocolate fondue recipe, you could easily incorporate additional flavors into your fondue. Simply add a small amount of flavoring extract. I would love to try peppermint, hazelnut, or almond!
Can I use chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips?
If you're really wanting to make this chocolate fondue recipe, but all you have on hand is chocolate bars, you could definitely use those instead of chocolate chips – however, be aware that depending on the quality of the chocolate, you may need to add additional heavy cream or additional cream of coconut to get the correct consistency for a chocolate fountain type flow 🙂
I don't have a slow cooker – can I make this recipe in a fondue pot?
You absolutely can create this chocolate sauce in a fondue pot. Simply combine the ingredients over medium heat and be sure to stir completely to incorporate your ingredients.
This chocolate fondue recipe would be a lot of fun for Valentine's Day, or really any day as a surprise for your family. If you give it a try, let us know what your favorite toppings were!

Has anyone tried this to sit in the crockpot for several hours AFTER it reaches the correct consistency? Was wanting to see if I could do for an event that lasted for several hours.
Do you have a keep warm setting on your Crock Pot?
Looks fabulous! I may try this for a dinner I plan to have later in the month! Other ideas to dip: Angel food cake, dried fruits such as apricots and pineapple.
we have a coconut allergy – is there a substitute? just more heavy cream??
Following – is there a substitute for the cream of coconut?
Does this have a strong coconut flavor
Not at all – you’ll love it!
How many people do you think this would serve?
Fondue is in the pot, smells delicious. Ended up cleaning out all my chocolate chips- chocolate and peanut butter to get to correct oz. The family is so excited!
Yum ~ love that Emily! 🙂
I couldn’t find Coconut Cream at Walmart, I found Imperial Dragon Coconut Milk in the Asian section. It looks very thick and creamy. All ingredients are in the Crock Pot right now. I think that milk will work!
Yay! Thanks for letting us know (I’m sure it will work!) Enjoy!
How many does this serve? If I were to make this for 10 people, would I need to double the recipe?
Not coconut fans-can that be tasted, and is there a substitute?
Do you think you can use this in a fountain?
Hmmmm, maybe after you make it – then add to a fountain? I can’t think of a reason it wouldn’t work!
Is Cream of Coconut the same thing as coconut milk?
Hi Lauren! They’re different ~ coconut milk has the consistency of regular milk, while cream of coconut is much thicker. 🙂 Hope that helps!
We are not coffee fans. Can you taste the coffee? Or is there something I can replace it with? Thanks!
I promise – you can’t taste the coffee! 🙂
