To prevent separating, use a standard commercial peanut butter. 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
 

  • 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.
  • Gradually stir in the peanut butter until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Recipe Testers’ Reviews

I served this fondue at a party, and it was very well received. Several asked for the recipe. I loved it—but then how can you go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate? It’s a very easy fondue to make. I’ll definitely make this again.

This peanut butter fondue is simple, and it’s so good it’s bad. It could have been half this delicious, and I still wouldn’t have been able to stay out of it. The ingredients are easy to find and just as easy to throw together for a party or drop-in guests.
