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, in addition to cooking on lava rocks, 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 this fun fondue is so great:

S'mores fondue....doesn't that just sound incredible?? I am so glad I created a fun copycat recipe for everyone to enjoy! This fondue heats in just minutes and you can dip so many fun kinds of fruit and cookies into it! I decided I had to create my own version of this easy chocolate fondue with lots of gluten free graham crackers and marshmallows!

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!

Ingredient notes:

  • Chocolate - I really 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.

Recipe step by step directions:

fondue cream, chocolate, and butter in a fondue cooker

Step 1: Add all of 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 avoid 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 not only has excellent reviews but also has a wide range of heat settings. It is all stainless steel and is a lot cheaper than a lot of sets.

*Another reason I love this brand is because clean up is easy, which is a major requirement for me because I hate to scrub things.

Things to dip in to chocolate fondue:

OMG, there are so many incredible options for dipping! Obviously fresh fruit like grapes, strawberries, orange slice, 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

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 that 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.
