This is pure chocolate indulgence, with a whiff of hazelnut. Keep in mind that fondue is more versatile than you may think—it's a warm sauce to drizzle over cake, ice cream, or yogurt. Be sure to start with a high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.--Recipe by Marge Perry, October 2000

Really enjoyed this recipe. Made it for a fondue dinner party and it was quite successful.

This was so cloyingly sweet, it was inedible in my opinion. The sickening sweetness overpowered any trace of using "high quality chocolate". Yes, I would have rather just sipped on the Frangelico! Just awful. Sorry.

This was delicious. I substituted bittersweet chocolate because we like it better in everything. It also kept well in the refrigerator for several weeks and could be reheated in the microwave for a quick indulgence.

This was my first time making chocolate fondue and I was very disappointed with this recipe. It was disgustingly way too sweet. I have no idea why there is a need for the sugar and the corn syrup. The extra sugar made this dish almost unpalatable. It was a waste of Frangelico. Do not make this recipe.
