There’s no better way to end a delicious dinner than with something sweet. But when the cold weather has arrived and the holidays are here, our dessert recipes call for something more decadent and rich. Something comforting that will keep you and your guests coming back for more. It’s times like these I picture myself swirling and twirling tasty bites like berries and bits of cake in a velvety smooth and rich pot of warm chocolate. That’s right – fondue. Is there anything more decadent than a chocolate fondue on a cold winter’s night? It’s about as close as you can get to heaven. Add some caramel and you’ll get a little closer.

The Secret Ingredient

Recipe Quick And Easy Chocolate Caramel Fondue With Marsala Cooking Wine

This time I’m thinking of a fondue that’s a little more sophisticated. A little more adult. And what’s dreamier than pairing Marsala + Chocolate? Marsala, a fortified wine from Sicily with notes of rich hazelnut deliciousness, is usually added to dishes with nutty and caramelized sauces. To this fondue, we’re adding a few splashes of Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine. Trust me; it brings it to a whole other level.

Why use cooking wine?

It’s great for those times you just know you’re not going to be able to finish off a whole bottle, but you still want the flavor of that wine in your recipe. Plus, it’s a great pantry staple to use when you want to amp up your favorite dishes including beef, chicken, and pork. But today we’re talking about the sweet stuff. Since Marsala Cooking Wine does contain a little salt, the Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine balances the sweetness of the chocolate and caramel in this recipe beautifully, making for a more luxurious fondue blend.

Ingredients for Chocolate Caramel Fondue

This fondue is so easy to make it’s unreal. And it’s only four ingredients.

  1. Dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  2. Heavy cream
  3. Caramel topping (found near ice-cream toppers)
  4. Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine
