Sweet Summertime Treat: Chocolate Fondue S’mores

S’mores is a treat that people of all ages have come to love – who can pass up decadent melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow with crisp graham crackers? I wanted to share a fun twist on the campfire classic: making s’mores with chocolate fondue. This new take on s’mores ensures perfectly melted chocolate each time, whether marshmallows are toasted or not.

Merging the best of both worlds, dipping marshmallows into chocolate fondue to make s’mores encompasses both the timeless memories this treat conjures up with the dipping delight fondue brings to the table. Though not the norm, it’s hard to deny the brilliant match this pair makes, turning the s’mores into an expertly crafted culinary creation that ensures perfectly melted chocolate every time, whether the marshmallows are toasted or not.

Emmi keeps the prep time just as minimal with its Swiss Chocolate Fondue, which is ready to heat and serve right out of the package.

Experimentation yields some of the best results, so don’t be afraid to take inspiration from the basic recipe of chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers and veer a little off course. Adding in other components, like a swirl of peanut butter and bananas; juicy fruits such as apples or strawberries; or even the savory, smoky taste of bacon packs an unexpected punch of flavor that takes it to a whole new level. The story goes that the name origin of the s’mores comes from children asking for “some more,” which was shortened to what we know today as the “s’more.” When this little bite of perfection is served up, there is no doubt there will be requests for s’more.

Emmi Swiss Chocolate Fondue delivers the rich flavor of traditional Swiss chocolate in one package ready to heat and eat. Emmi also offers varieties of cheese fondue, including Original Fondue made with authentic Le Gruyère AOC and Emmentaler AOC cheeses from Switzerland, Gorgonzola Fondue and Appenzeller Fondue.
