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! This recipe is amazing on so many levels I am not even sure where to begin.

How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue
This recipe couldn't be any simpler! Simply pour your ingredients in a saucepan, warm, whisk and enjoy! Here are a few tips to help ensure your success!
- Use the entire can of coconut cream. The solid portion of the can will melt with the rest of the ingredients as it is warmed! You need both the solid and liquid portions of the cream for this recipe!
- Whisk! Don't let the mixture sit on the warm burner for too long, or the bottom could burn! Be sure to whisk constantly!
- Store. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Simply scoop out the portion you would like to eat and warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop! I also may have used leftovers to frost a couple brownies...and it might have been incredibly delicious! 🙂
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.
Recipe FAQs
Any nut or seed butter, such as almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, etc. can be used in place of peanut butter.
It stays fresh for up to 1 week in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer when stored in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue: Substitutions
While I can't, in good conscience, recommend that you tamper with this recipe at all, here are a few potential substitutions!
- Coconut cream. I really do not recommend any dairy-free substitutions for coconut cream because it is critical to the irresistibly creamy texture of this fondue! You 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. 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!
