When it comes to celebrating any special occasion or life event, it’s a well-known fact that the combination of chocolate & peanut butter is my love language. You can keep your fancy gifts, give me a sweet treat where these two ingredients are the stars and I will gladly be your Valentine. xoxo

So I created this chocolate peanut butter fondue recipe, which is incredible on so many levels I am not even sure where to begin.

This velvety smooth pool of rich, creamy chocolate has subtle but satisfying notes of peanut butter in every insanely delicious bite. It is so good that you will want to savor it down to the very last drop. Everyone in my family absolutely loves grabbing a fondue fork and diving right in.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue: Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Coconut cream. for a non-dairy-free variety, use heavy whipping cream, half and half or whole milk in place of coconut cream. Full-fat coconut milk also works well.
  • Chocolate chips. Any chocolate bar or chip will work well in this recipe! I recommend a variety that’s between 60-72% dark for the ultimate chocolate flavor. However, feel free to choose your favorite variety! Both Enjoy Life Foods and Sunspire Chocolate make chips that are certified dairy-free!
  • Granulated sugar. I recommend organic cane sugar here, but any granulated variety should work well. Use coconut sugar for a refined sugar free option! I do not recommend using calorie-free sweeteners, as I do not use them and cannot guarantee results!

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions
  • Coconut cream.ย I really do not recommend any dairy-free substitutions for coconut cream because it is critical to the irresistibly creamy texture of this fondue! Youย could use full-fat coconut milk, but it will be a little less creamy so beware. If you don’t mind the dairy, heavy whipping cream and whole milk also work well in this recipe!
  • Chocolate chips.ย Any chocolate bar or chip will work well in this recipe! I recommend a variety that’s between 60-72% dark for the ultimate chocolate flavor. However, feel free to choose your favorite variety! Both Enjoy Life Foods and Sunspire Chocolate make chips that are certified dairy-free!
  • Granulated sugar.ย I recommend organic cane sugar here, but any granulated variety should work well. Use coconut sugar for a refined sugar free option! I do not recommend using calorie-free sweeteners, as I do not use them and cannot guarantee results!
Store/Freeze
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I recommend a glass jar with a lid) in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 2 months).
Reheat slowly by thawing at room temperature then warming on the stovetop.

    I kind of just want to drink some of this or drizzle it over everything. Some of my favorite chocolate bar brands are dairy free; I’d love to try making this for Sunday!
