This quick and easy s'mores chocolate fondue is a popular treat for dessert. Several months ago, we dined at a fun fondue restaurant in Sunnyvale, California, called Rok Bistro; This restaurant has a very extensive and unique fondue menu.

One fondue stood out on their menu, but it wasn't available gluten free. Can you guess which one? If you have been reading my blog for a bit, you know I take these challenges personally and make every effort to develop a gluten free version of things I love.

Why Make This Fondue:

  1. S'mores fondue....doesn't that sound incredible?? I am so glad I created a fun copycat recipe for everyone to enjoy!
  2. This fondue heats in just minutes, and you can dip so many fun kinds of fruit and cookies into it! I decided to create my own version of this easy chocolate fondue with lots of gluten free graham crackers and marshmallows!
  3. This recipe is so easy to make, almost fool-proof!! Grab some fruit, cookies, cake, and any other dip-worthy treats!

If you love chocolate as much as we do, you must check out these amazing gluten free chocolate recipes too!

Tips For Sucess:

  • Cook the ingredients on low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Do not turn the temperature too high on the fondue pot. The chocolate can get dried out over time.

Ingredient Notes:

  • Chocolate - I love to use Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers in this recipe.
  • Heavy Cream - Use any brand but do not use half and half, or it won't turn out the same.
  • Butter - Use unsalted butter.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract - I prefer pure vanilla over imitation vanilla.
  • Gluten Free Graham Crackers - Several brands make these. I like Pamela's brand.
  • Marshmallows - I prefer the Dandies brand.

I have been using this fondue pot for years. I love how long it has held up! It is perfect for melting cheese for savory fondue and chocolate for sweet fondue.

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

A saucepan with heavy cream, chocolate, and butter.

Step 1: Add all your ingredients to a small pot. Cook on low heat to slowly melt the ingredients together.

Step 2: Simmer over low heat until all ingredients are melted. Stir frequently to prevent the chocolate on the bottom from getting burned. (Sorry for the blurry picture, but I wanted to show you how it looks as the chocolate melts!)

Step 3: Pour into a fondue pot. My favorite is this fondue pot by Nostalgia because it has excellent reviews and a wide range of heat settings. It is all stainless steel and a lot cheaper than many sets.

🔑 Sandi says: Another reason I love this brand is that clean-up is easy, which is a major requirement for me because I hate to scrub things.

Things To Dip In Chocolate Fondue:

OMG, there are so many incredible options for dipping! Obviously, fresh fruit like grapes, strawberries, orange slices, pineapple, and raspberries. Here are some more favorites:

  • Gluten Free Lemon Pound Cake
  • These Gluten Free Chocolate Orange Donuts are crazy good dipped in chocolate!
  • Gluten Free Chocolate Cookie Dough Balls
  • Gluten Free Graham Crackers
  • Gluten Free Pretzels

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

What is the best chocolate to use for chocolate fondue?

The chocolate I used for this fondue is called chocolate melting wafers. Ghirardelli also makes a dark chocolate melting wafer that is really good.

What marshmallows are gluten free?

Most marshmallow brands are gluten free, including Kraft Jet-Puffed which you see in most stores, but I highly recommend the brand Dandies Marshmallows, because they use real sugar and not corn syrup!

What are the best gluten free graham crackers?

There are a couple of gluten free graham cracker brands out there that are great. My favorites are Pamela's Honey Grahams and Schar Honeygrams.

How long will chocolate fondue keep?

This chocolate fondue should keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces Melting chocolate * see note
  • 1 cup heavy cream * see note
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • ½ cup marshmallows * see note
  • Fruits cookies, or any other things to dip into the s'mores

  • In a medium saucepan, add chocolate, cream, butter and vanilla.

  • Turn up heat on fondue pot to medium.
  • Add 5-8 large marshmallows.

Notes

  1. Use high-quality chocolate. I like to use Ghirardelli chocolate best.

  5. Several companies make gluten free graham crackers including Schar and Pamela's.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
