Delicious Mexican Hot Chocolate Fondue

Mexican hot chocolate fondue is delicious and fun to make. It has a surprisingly bitter and spicy without being over powering. Best of all, because the hot chocolate can be bought at the 99 Cents Only stores, the price can be far cheaper than that of regular chocolate fondue.

  • 3 tablets of Mexican hot chocolate
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 chocolate bar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Your choice of dipping materials: bananas, blackberries, strawberries, marshmallows, etc.

Melt hot chocolate tabs and regular chocolate in milk over a double boiler. Once the chocolate melts and everything is blended together smoothly, add spices and cream. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat. When chocolate is cool enough to eat without burning your mouth, dig in!

If you have left over dip, just freeze it and reheat it when you’re ready for decadent delights again.
