Print Recipe

Flaming Turtle Chocolate Fondue

Serves 4-6 people

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces milk chocolate chips or finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • 1 tablespoon rum
  • 3 tablespoons pecans chopped

Instructions

  • You can either melt the chocolate and heavy cream in a double boiler on top of simmering water and mix until creamy or in a microwaveable bowl cooked in 15 second intervals and stirred until melted.
  • Pour melted chocolate into a warm fondue pot.
  • Pour the caramel into the center of the chocolate mixture. Do not stir.
  • Add the rum to the pot and ignite carefully using a lighter.
  • Allow the flame to burn out and stir gently to combine.
  • Sprinkle with pecans.
  • Keep fondue warm over low heat.

Notes

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

 

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!

    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.
