How To Melt Chocolate for Fondue
- 1). Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in the fondue pot.
- 2). Add the milk, cream or seasoning the recipe calls for. If you are melting the chocolate without any milk or cream added, fill a second pot (that is slightly larger than the fondue pot) with water and place it on the stove and bring to a low simmer.
- 3). Place the fondue pot with chocolate and milk or cream over a low flame on the fondue pot's heat source. If no milk or cream is added to the chocolate, place the fondue pot on the simmering water, instead of the direct low flame of the fondue pot's heat source. Stir until melted. After the chocolate is melted, the pot can be placed on the fondue pot's heat source, at a low heat.
