Ingredients

Scale

Fondue

  • 30 soft caramels, unwrapped (Kraft or Soft Werthers)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Dippers

  • Granny Smith apples, sliced for dipping
  • Graham crackers, for dipping
  • Pretzels, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Melt Caramels: In a small saucepan, combine the unwrapped soft caramels and heavy cream over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to ensure the caramels melt evenly without burning. Continue cooking and stirring for about 15 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Salt: Once melted, stir in the flaky sea salt to give the caramel a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. Mix well to incorporate the salt evenly throughout the fondue.
  3. Serve Warm: Transfer the caramel fondue to a serving bowl or fondue pot to keep it warm. Serve immediately with sliced Granny Smith apples, graham crackers, and pretzels for dipping. Enjoy while the caramel is warm and smooth for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use your own fondue fork to avoid mixing bacteria for hygiene and safety.
  • When dipping rigid foods like crackers, avoid stabbing all the way through to keep them intact.
  • Allow excess caramel to drip from your dipped item to avoid sticky messes.
  • Don’t rest your unused fork on the fondue pot rim to prevent cross-contamination.
  • If you drop your dipper into the fondue, Swiss tradition says you must kiss your neighbor or buy a round of drinks!
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 month; reheat gently in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring often.
  • Fondue can be frozen for up to 4 months; thaw and reheat gently before serving.
