Serves 4-6 people

Ingredients

Notes

Recipe from The Melting Pot 'Dip into Something Delicious' Cookbook.

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…!

    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!

    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.

#WhatchaReadingWednesday (🤦‍♀️ summer schedules got me a day late...)
👑 📖 👑📖👑📖👑📖👑📖👑
I just finished "Spare" by Price Harry and it may just be the best and most heartbreaking memoir I have ever read. He tells his story as the 'spare to the heir', starting at 12 when his beloved mother Princess Diana passed away, up until 2022. I started with the hardback book but then after a few chapters, I switched to the audiobook version from the library. I always recommend audiobooks of memoirs and autobiographies if they are read by the author. I think it makes it so much more personal and moving to hear their story in their voice. Harry is a great storyteller with a lot of emotion and blunt honesty. I teared up and gasped out loud during many of his stories. He truly is misunderstood and this book opened my eyes to what a thoughtful and genuine person he really is. I highly recommend reading "Spare". 
⭐️ Did you know "Spare" broke the Guinness Record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book? It sold 1.4 million on its release day and has currently sold 3.4 million! 
💕It is a little over 400 pages (15+ hours on audiobook) with 232 chapters.
