5 ingredients is all you need to make this delicious restaurant copycat recipe!
Melt milk chocolate mixed with a touch of heavy cream in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir frequently and make sure not to burn!
You may want to heat your caramel for a few seconds so it is smoother. Then add it to the center of the chocolate in the fondue pot.
Here’s the fun part! Add the rum then carefully light with a long lighter or long match.
Let the flame burn out or stir to combine and put the flame out. Finally add the pecans and you’re ready to start dipping!
My favorite dippers at home are marshmallows, strawberries, and cookies.
Be creative: you can dip all sorts of fruits, candies, cookies, and sweet treats.
Flaming Turtle Fondue at The Melting Pot Houston is delicious and entertaining!
The fantastic dessert dippers are my favorite part!
We had such a fantastic time when we visited The Melting Pot Houston last month!
It was Ashton’s first visit and Ava’s too! She was an absolute doll, sleeping through most of our 2 hour dinner!
A great end to our meal: Six Jumbo Chocolate Covered Strawberries!

I just visited the melting pot for the first time a few months ago and the place is absolutely incredible. Though it was pricey I didn't mind cause everything tasted fantastic. I said at the beginning that I would not come back cause of the price but by the end I was already thinking of when we could go back again…!
Oh my goodness! this looks awesome! My kiddos would love this so much…and maybe I would share with them…hehe
These look very nice…I made them for my niece birthday last December. Kids just loved them.

Chocolate Fondue Dippers
This one is a keeper! Used for our office party. My kids loved it! Excellent with bananas, strawberries, pineapple!
As soon as I add the heavy cream, the chocolate hardens up. I am using a double boiler. Water is below boiling. I wasted 3 bags of chocolate chips trying this recipe until I realized it was the heavy cream ruining it. Thanks.
Kiki, sorry this happened to you. I have made this recipe many times and never had that happen. Possibly your chocolate got too hot but 2 tbsp of heavy cream will not ruin your chocolate and cause it to seize up. Also you can try the microwave method mentioned in my directions above. Thanks.
We had the same thing happen. My husband was trying to surprise me with it and couldn’t figure out what was going on. The cream does something to the chocolate and it won’t melt the right way. Melt chocolate first and then stir in the cream.
Hi,
Sorry I missed your comment. I melt them together b/c adding cold heavy cream to hot melted chocolate will cause it to seize. The microwave method always works fine for me. Hope it turned out great!
I wish I would have read the reviews beforehand. I had the same thing happen – literally 3 batches (thankfully I had spares). As soon as I add heavy cream it hardens.
Do not follow the recommendation to use chocolate chips. They do not melt and are not made for this. Use chocolate bars. We should have known better, but followed this recipe and wasted a bag of chips, ruining our fondue dessert.
If the chocolate seizes up, add 1 tsp vegetable oil and then heat 1/4-1/3 cup heavy cream and add it into the chocolate. I did this and it was fine after I added in the extra cream and a little oil.
