Peanut Butter Fondue with Chocolate Swirls Recipes

Great Party Fondues | John Wiley & Sons, 2008

For those who love peanut butter, what better idea than to pair it with chocolate in a fondue? To prevent separating, use a standard commercial peanut butter. Creamy is recommended for a smooth fondue coating. Even though there is salt in the peanut butter, a little extra is added to balance the sweetness of the chocolate. Because this fondue is a little thicker than some, sturdier dippers are a good idea: try chewy brownies cut into small squares, shortbread cookies, pretzel sticks, biscotti, banana chunks, apple wedges, and orange segments.–Peggy Fallon

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, finely chopped

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, stir the cream, brown sugar, and salt over medium heat until the sugar has melted and the cream is hot but not boiling.
2. Gradually stir in the peanut butter until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
3. Transfer to a ceramic fondue pot and set over a low flame. Scatter the chocolate over the top and let stand for about I minute to allow it to soften.
4. Using a fondue fork or a skewer, swirl the melted chocolate over the top of the fondue. Regulate the heat, if possible, to keep the fondue warm, not hot.
