Have fun with the family while enjoying this dessert fondue! Pretty much everything tastes great dipped in this chocolate peanut butter fondue! It’s gluten-free of course and I’ve used a variety of gluten-free dippers for it too! Thanks to Udi’s Gluten Free for sponsoring this recipe as part of our year-long partnership.
Fondue is a super fun family meal or dessert. Earlier this year, I shared our non-alcoholic, gluten-free cheese fondue recipe. Today I’m sharing a sweet chocolate peanut butter fondue to have for dessert! You can have a fun family night with both if you’d like!
My kids have asked us to start having a family fondue night once in a while. The kids think it’s so fun to dip everything in this yummy chocolate peanut butter sauce! It’s fun for holidays like Christmas, New Years, and Valentine’s. They also discovered this chocolate peanut butter fondue is yummy over ice cream, so I’m sure we’ll add ice cream as a choice when we do this again during the summertime!
I wanted a variety of gluten-free choices for dipping in this decadent sauce! I chose a mix of sweet, salty, and fruity dippers. You can serve them whole, cut or broken in half, or you can put some items on sticks ahead of time if you’d like.
The sweet dippers I chose included several varieties of gluten-free cookies from Udi’s and Glutino. I’ll link to each so you can check them out! They can all be ordered online if you can’t find them at your local stores. Udi’s Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies and Udi’s Gluten Free Peanut Butter Coconut Cookies were both yummy choices for dipping in this chocolate peanut butter fondue!
The salty dippers I chose were Glutino Gluten Free Pretzels.
For fresh fruit, I sliced tart apples which complement the sweet fondue nicely. I recommend using a tart variety that doesn’t brown too quickly. I like Pink Lady and Braeburn. We also enjoyed fresh, juicy red strawberries and banana chunks. Be sure to wait to cut the bananas and apples until you’ve prepped everything else that way they won’t brown before serving.
This chocolate peanut butter fondue is made very simply with just 5 ingredients in about 5 minutes. You can make it all on the stovetop and then transfer it to a fondue pot or just a bowl for serving. Totally okay if you don’t have a fondue pot! Either way, you’ll want to make this right before serving.
Notes on ingredients:
- Use a good quality chocolate – your choice of milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate. My go-to is always semi-sweet! I used a bag of semi-sweet chunks this time, but feel free to use bars or morsels.
- Peanut Butter- Use a good salted, creamy variety.
- Milk – I used whole milk here and it worked well. I do think that 1-2% milk would work as well. I haven’t tried it yet with dairy-free milk, but if you do, let me know!
If you want to have a little control over how many sweets your kids eat during each sitting, you could serve with little plates like these and help them fill them with a mix of everything. I did this for my youngest, filling it twice. Otherwise, he totally would have eaten a dozen cookies! 😉
Let me know if you make this and what you enjoyed dipping in it!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue
This chocolate peanut butter fondue is made very simply with just 5 ingredients in about 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 10 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chunks or morsels*
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
In a heavy saucepan, stir all ingredients over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. I started with spatula and switched to a whisk once all ingredients were melted.
Transfer to a fondue pot and serve. The flame/candle of fondue pot should keep this a great consistency. If you don't have one, and are serving in a bowl, it's totally fine. Just know that this chocolate peanut butter fondue thickens as it cools. You can thin it back out by returning to heat.
Notes
- Use a good quality chocolate - your choice of milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate. My go-to is always semi-sweet! I used a bag of semi-sweet chunks this time, but feel free to use bars or morsels.
- Use a good salted, creamy peanut butter.

Yum! Thank you for posting this, my boys and I made it tonight and used whatever we had on hand to dip, including my Udi's gluten free pretzels. It was delicious! I used almond milk and it turned out nice and smooth.
