Chocolate Dipping Sauces for Fondue

These recipes were not served but I will be trying them shortly. They have my two favorite ingredients, chocolate and peanut butter.

The Original
8 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter

Combine the chocolate and cream in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly or combine the chocolate and cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted stirring every 30-45 seconds. Be careful not to let the chocolate burn. Pour into a warm fondue pot. Add the peanut butter and stir gently until blended. Keep fondue warm over low heat.

Snickers Bar Fondue
8 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
2 teaspoons chunky peanut butter

Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring constantly or combine the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted stirring every 30-45 seconds. Be careful not to let the chocolate burn. Pour into a warm fondue pot. Add the caramel and peanut butter and stir gently until blended. Keep fondue warm over low heat.

Fondue Dipping Sauces

These are the dipping sauces that were made:

Ginger Soy Sauce
1 cup soy sauce
2 Tbls Chili Sauce
2 Tbls light brown sugar
½ t ginger
1 c fresh orange juice (2-3 oranges?)

Island Sauce
½ cup orange marmalade
Juice of ½ lime
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Herb and Butter Dipping Sauce
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 Tbls lemon juice
1 Tbls chopped fresh chives
1 Tbls fresh parsley
1 Tbls fresh tarragon
Hot red pepper sauce to taste (I think this could be optional)

Serve over heated element. We used a crockpot Dipper size.

I didn't make these sauces but I think you just mix together all the ingredients listed and serve on a side dish.

Meat Fondue

We had a Fondue party in honor of a gal turning thirty. It was lots of fun. Here were the three ways we cooked our meat.


The first is regular oil. Vegetable oil or peanut oil is recommended. For electric pots cook at 350.


Voodoo Cooking Style
5 1/2 cups water
juice from 1/2 orange
juice from 1/2 lime
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped carot
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons blackened desasoning (Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic recommended) I ommited this ingredient.

Whisk the water, orange juice, lime juice, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper and blackened seasoning in a bowl until combined. Pour into a fondue pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until desired doneness.
