    • Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot or a heatproof dish designed for fondue. Place it over a low flame or use a fondue set with a heat source.
  4. Enjoy!:
    • Arrange your favorite dippables on a platter around the fondue pot. Use fondue forks or skewers to dip and enjoy!

Notes/Tips

  • Ensure the chocolate is finely chopped for even melting.
  • Be careful not to overheat the cream; just a gentle simmer is enough.
  • If the fondue becomes too thick, you can add a little more cream or amaretto to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Experiment with different dippables like cubed sponge cake, biscotti, or even pretzels for a unique twist.

Enjoy your delightful Amaretto Chocolate Fondue! It’s a surefire way to elevate any special occasion.
