3 Ingredient Caramel Fondue (slow cooker or microwave)
Description
The 3 Ingredient Caramel Fondue starts with unwrapped caramels and milk or heavy cream melted together either by microwaving in intervals or cooking on high heat in a slow cooker. Mini marshmallows are stirred in until fully melted to add smoothness and light sweetness. The mixture can be seasoned with a small amount of fine sea salt to enhance the caramel flavor.
The fondue has a rich, thick consistency and is served warm for dipping. Suggested dippers include apples, pretzels, cookies, strawberries, bananas, crackers, and marshmallows, making it versatile as a dessert or party treat.
Using the slow cooker on the warm setting while serving keeps the fondue smooth and dippable, preventing it from hardening. The microwave method offers a faster preparation but requires monitoring the melting process and stirring for smoothness.
Ingredients
- 25 oft caramels unwrapped
- ⅓ cup milk or heavy cream
- ⅓ cup mini marshmallows

Slow Cooker Method

Notes
