Ingredients
Ingredients
milk chocolate
8 ounces (finely chopped)
marshmallow creme
2 teaspoons (none)
Bacardi 151 rum
2 tablespoons (none)
graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup (none)
Instructions
1
Begin by finely chopping the milk chocolate to help it melt evenly. Place the chocolate in the top part of a double boiler set over simmering water.
2
Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be cautious not to let any water or steam get into the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
3
Once melted, carefully transfer the chocolate to a fondue pot set on a low heat to keep it warm.
4
Spoon the marshmallow crème into the center of the melted chocolate without stirring. This will allow for a delightful contrast when dipping.
5
Pour the rum into the pot and ignite it carefully using a long wooden match or lighter. Allow the flame to burn out naturally, creating a warm, aromatic experience as it enhances the flavor.
6
After the flame has extinguished, give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the marshmallow crème with the chocolate.
7
Finally, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top for that signature s’mores experience. Keep the fondue warm over low heat and serve with an assortment of dippables such as fruit, marshmallows, and graham crackers.
