Searching for romantic date night inspiration (or family treat night ideas)? As you scroll past pictures of trendydessert grazing boardsandhot cocoa boards, don’t forget about the original interactive dessert moment: chocolate fondue.
While chocolate fondue couldn’t be simpler, it’s also a chance to go wild with what you’re dipping. Some chocolate fondue pairings are classic, like strawberries and marshmallows, but why stick to the tried-and-true treats?
Update your fondue dipper options with everything from macarons to mango and even a few savory options. Grab a fork and dive in!
Chocolate Fondue Dippers
Salty and sweet
Two great tastes that taste great together—with a fun and nostalgic spin. Makemini popcorn ballsor slice Rice Krispies treats into bite-size squares, or for a nuttier option, try sesame candy or granola bars.
Or just salty
Do a pretzel shape taste test to see if you prefer sticks and rods to waffles and rounds in your fondue. (Spoiler: they’re all delicious!) Or experiment with snacks like ridged potato chips, rice crackers and pita chips.
Creamy and soft
There’s more to munch on than marshmallows. Makemini cheesecakesor cut a slice of cheesecake into smaller pieces, or pick up a package of mini cannoli and savor the sweet ricotta filling.
Cakey
The traditional cubes of angel food cake and vanilla pound cake are always crowd-pleasers. But if you have leftover Belgian waffles from last weekend’s brunch, stash them in your freezer, then thaw, warm and cut them up too.
Crunchy cookies
Go international with a selection of light and crisp cookies and treats. Try macarons,meringuesor caramel-filled Belgian stroopwafels. (Classics like vanilla wafers and ginger cookies work here too!)
Fresh fruit
Dried fruit
Raid the snack shelf for dried apricots, mango or pineapple, or get fancier with candied orange peels.
