CHOCOLATE CARAMEL RASPBERRY FONDUE (FOR MINI CROCK POT)



Chocolate Caramel Raspberry Fondue (For Mini Crock Pot) image

I first tasted this fondue at a friend's Christmas party about 8-9 years ago. I think just about everyone left that party with a copy of the recipe! I have served this at my own parties many times with great success. I enjoy serving this with strawberries, fresh pineapple chunks, cantaloupe, bananas, and sponge cake as the dippers. This makes enough fondue to partly fill a medium-sized crockpot.

sponge cakes or poundcake, for dipping
chunks fresh fruit, for dipping

Steps:

  • In a 2-quart saucepan, combine chocolate chips, caramels, milk, butter, raspberry jam.

Place a dbl length of dry paper towels (**)over the TOP of crockpot rim & a sheet of foil to seal it in , place lid on tight & cook for 2- 2 1/2 hrs...check after 2...the sides should be brown & when you touch the center of the cake it should spring back. turn crockpot off & using the foil remove the cake & set aside to cool for 30 min. after cooling take a plate & place over the cake & invert it , remove foil serve & enjoy ** since a crockpot cooks with moist heat the paper towels will help absorb excess moisture & keep it from making the top of the cake soggy

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: This will result in a better tasting caramel.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: This will make it bitter.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the caramel to thicken.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the caramel from scorching.
  • Stir the caramel constantly: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add a little bit of salt: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the caramel.
