This chocolate fondue might actually be the easiest party dessert ever. You don’t have to double-boil, you don’t have to buy a fancy fondue kit, you don’t have to worry about an open flame (perfect if you have kids at the party, but skip the Amaretto if that’s the case)we can’t think of any reason why you shouldn’t unearth your slow cooker and make this recipe right now! It might not look as glamorous as a traditional fondue pot, but who cares about presentation when molten chocolate is involved? Ladle yourself a bowl of chocolate and let the rest of your worries melt away!
