Hershey Dessert Fondue Pot – Chocolate Covered Strawberries & How To Make Milk Chocolate Bar Fondue

I found this at a local thrift store for 3 dollars and figured one day, one day I would make a video. This is the day! I had purchased the kisses last year to be ready when I did and I knew I needed to get them on video before they expired. I do find it funny that you had to cook the chocolate in another pot and then put it in the fondue Hershey Heart Fondue Pot to keep it warm. It added to the clean-up but was still fun to show you on video. Marshmallows would also be a good option for dipping in the chocolate. If the strawberry’s were smaller, I could have just dipped them in, they were to big for one bite.

Discover the art of chocolate fondue with our Hershey Fondue Pot! Watch as we demonstrate how to prepare delectable chocolate covered strawberries and craft a delectable milk chocolate bar fondue. Elevate your dessert game with this easy and delightful recipe. #ChocolateFondue #Strawberries #DessertTime #ChocolateLovers #DessertIdeas #sweettreats

You are now watching a Lucky Penny Shop product feature hey it’s Lucky Penny Shop thanks for stopping by today I do appreciate it is time to check out the Hershey Kisses 100th anniversary dessert fondu pot found at a thrift store from 1907 of 2007 so we’re way past the 100th

Anniversary uh that’s probably when the pot came out so it’s pretty old uh let me see here let’s see dessert fondue doubles as a covered candy dish when Nat new with the candle perfect for entertaining and holiday Gatherings ideal for Hershey’s chocolate and other dessert fondue recipes makes a fun

Addition to any table on the other side the back you will see I paid $3 for it which I thought was reasonable uh a little tape on the box and it’s got the Hershey kisses all the way around and then there’s just a pictoral of what we got here ceramic cover ceramic fondue

Pot the stand the tealight candle and four fondu por porks four fondu porks uh forks with Hershey’s kisses on the side they’re white with blue writing so generally speaking I liked it because of the pot I thought it was cool shape cool design and thought well let me put it in a

Video haven’t I don’t think I’ve ever made Fondue in a video so here we go and if I remember correctly when I got it there was no chips or cracks or ISS shoes with it and so here’s what it looks like I thought it was pretty neat pretty neat

Design all right and then the stand and then the instruction so that would go on that okay now it’s not necessarily a fondue Baker it doesn’t actually melt the chocolate you have to melt the chocolate and put the melted chocolate in there and this becomes the actual

Just keeping it warm so there’s four unused fondue Forks that say Hershey’s kisses and then in the thrift store they had just thrown these in cuz they don’t really come with the set it only said four fondu for so these don’t really go with it I will move them off to the

Side let’s get the box out of here the candle it’s just a regular little tealight here let me give you a look at this so if you’re looking for a cool candy dish and you don’t want to make it for fondue this would be pretty neat so here’s where I read and here’s

Where I felt hm directions for using the dessert fondue set prepare a plate of fondue Dipper such as SP okay oh let’s forget all that carefully pour the hot oh wait in a saucepan on the stove top heat the fondu mixture until hot fondu mixture can also

Be heated in a microwave using a microwave safe Bowl care carefully pour the hot fondue mixture into the fondue pot never fill the fondue pot more than 2/3 full place the fondue pot securely on the fondue stand and then consistently stir the mixture for even cooking and to avoid burning the food or

Damaging the pot allow each guest to select Dippers with their Hershey’s Kisses fondue Fork swirl Dippers in the hot fondue mixture when the depth of the mixture is less than 1 in replenish the mixture or extinguish the flame because they don’t want want it to crack where does it say light the

Candle in a sauce pan on okay can can heated in the M okay carefully pour the hot fondu mixture in the fondue pot it doesn’t ever say to light the candle okay use of the tealight unwrap the tealight candle included with the fondue pot with the fondue set place the

Candle securely in the well located in the center of the Fue stand carefully light the candle with a match place the Fue pot securely on the stand it doesn’t even tell you to fill it to extinguish the flame carefully so it’s kind of backwards here why would you

Light it and do that without putting the chocolate in there that will definitely damage it Caren cleanup they have a couple recipes here chocolate leers fondu 2 cups semi- sweet chocolate chips a thir cup light cream or half and half half cup sugar assorted fondu Dippers marshmallow cherries grapes mandarin

Orange segment pineapple chunks strawberries fresh fruit slices cake pieces combine chocolate chips cream and sugar in heavy medium sauce cook over low heat stirring consuling till chocolate chips are melted and mixture is hot pour to fondu Pot serve warm with assorted fondue Dippers about 2 cups A variation 2 tablespoons kers

Cherry flavor lur may be added before serving I mean we can do that one semi sweet cream half and half I have all that maybe I’ll try that now I don’t have semi- sweet chocolate chips I do but I thought it’d be fun to do milk let’s see what’s this

One milk chocolate bar fondue six Hershey’s milk chocolate bars broken into pieces 1/4 cup light cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract it’s kind of the same and then assorted food uh fondue Dippers Place chocolate bar pieces L cream medium sauce pan microwave safe bowl or in a ceramic fandu pot oh you

Can make that in the pot or in ceramic microwave at high okay additional after each heating until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth when stirred stir in vanilla if mixture thickens stir in additional light cream 1 tsp at a time pour into fondue pot serve with the sorted fondue

Dippers wa it’s so backwards then here it says pour into the pot pour into fondue pot up here it says put the chocolate bars in the ceramic fondue pot all right so don’t follow these instructions all right these are very confusing what I think I’m going to do is use

These I brought these I thought H they’re all over the package why would I not use regular Old Hershey Kisses I just have to open them so what do you think open about 20 it’s the party size and then maybe I’ll do a variation of one of these I’ll cook it in my

Little uh portable electric stove and then I’ll pour it in there get the candle going bring some snacks in here give it a try uh so let me come back let me start peeling these and I’ll see because it says six milk chocolate bars about 1.5 ounces

Each so I need to make 6 * 1.5 whatever that is you do the math I’ll be back I’ll get a scale and we’ll weigh that out all right so 6 * 1.5 is nine who has had a peanut butter blossom before I have so let’s do at least 9 oz let’s

See that’s 3 oz so about three handfuls 6 oz that’s quite a bit I think that’s going to be enough so a little over nine now I need to peel all these all right let me do that next time to peel all right I never in my wildest thoughts

Thought that I’d be peeling all of these right now but but I’m trying to make a thematic video and that requires me to peel so if you don’t want to sit here then speed up the video but if you don’t mind watching me peel then please stick

Around today was a day let’s see what happened today today uh cool through stuff I was looking at some of the kits I had it toss up of what I wanted to do today a lot of it’s based on time and then the supplies I realized I

Was missing something from the set I really wanted to do so I switched to this one what happens to all this foil isn’t this shouldn’t that be recycled metal how much foil is lost on Candy products every year I don’t know o so what am I going to use well I

Thought pretzels would be good right pretzels are always good and then graham crackers strawberries chocolate covered bananas now if I guess if I had a choice between milk and semi I probably should have gone with the semi but I thought H melting these would be more

Fun and they are all over I mean they’re all over the package which I find interesting but they don’t tell you to use hery kisses it’s very difficult not popping one in the old mouth so basically I’m just going to melt this I’m going to add a little

Vanilla and a little cream like they suggest and then have my own milk chocolate bar but not using candy bars using these look at that pileo now I have to say I think last year maybe I had fondu one time it’s not something uh I do often do you findu and how

Often there’s a restaurant in my area called the Weber grill it’s not in my area but I’ve heard about it never been there and that’s what they do I think they do fun do in my mind I thought that’s what they did I don’t know never been there now I did a chocolate

Fountain last year that I found at a thrift store an original complete chocolate fountain it worked it’s like it was a vintagey plasticky kind of one almost like a toy but not I should probably do a video of that it’s got a little motor in

It yeah maybe I will I kind love her she kisses to do it all right almost there now I see why they say candy bar man that is fun I probably should have just had the hot plate out next to me and I could have actually yeah let me move it over

Here I’ll get it plugged in and then I can get those going while I finish this up let’s do that and then how much cream 1/4 cup of cream that’s easier so is it really fine do if you’re you’re melting it before you put it

In you might as well just eat it right out of there why dirty the uh I guess I’m having a h you’re diring other things to use the thing you want to use so why not just keep the melted chocolate in that okay so let me go get the 1/4 cup

Of cream that’s done look at all that look how much that makes okay I’ll be back with the rest of the ingredients okay just doing this now quarter cup there we go okay does anybody else sniff it before you pour you always sniff before you pour just to make

Sure I did when I got it and add the vanilla in later so this probably just help with the melting let’s get this turned up got my tools there don’t need that anymore I got supplies behind me so I’m thinking good for dipping yes maybe a graham cracker youo gram cracker marshmallow

And then I’ve got banana and strawberry both good in chocolate so that I need a cutting board for and I think we’re close let’s put this in there does it fit in the scene yes all right let’s move this a little closer we got all that stuff back there

It’s on medium now is there any melting yet at all no a slight slight bit so we’re going to go go just past between low and medium let me grab a cutting bar and I will continue the process okay starting to make noise now let’s do this we’ll do these on this

One I’m definitely not going to need this many so I’m going to have to share this with the family okay there’s bubbling so let’s go that heat up pretty quick let’s drop it down oh yeah it’s not going to take long okay that’s for that a little thicker because you want

To be able to pick them up smooth and creamy it is not now that’s a big strawberry so let’s do this let’s uh cut it in/ thirds I think just two okay there is my supplies let’s bring this in here let’s get this all out of here those will be the eating supplies

Okay bondue sticks I have a little time I’m going to rinse this all off real quick which I did not so I’m going to do that now me take a second let’s rinse this out I’ll be back this should should be melting I’ll just leave it here with the

Camera for a bit so you can see if it changes while I’m doing that I have to turn the sound off but let me go just a little hotter you should see it bubbling I’ll be back okay that goes back there let’s check this o it’s slowly getting

Creamy okay let’s give that a little more time uh a lighter let me grab that and then a teaspoon we could put the vanilla in cuz it said at the end mix in the vanilla right when smooth starting the vanilla okay okay that say you could add more cream it could be the

Heat and or the cream amount let me just put a little bit more and see if I can get that smoother okay all right we give two more minutes three more minutes I’ll add the vanilla and then we’ll add it to the Vu that doesn’t look better now see that that

Really changed it oo can’t wait all right then when smooth stirr in the vanilla one teaspoon let’s move this closer I’m going to do it over this so if I spill it goes in because I I like vanilla one teaspoon not a drop more not a drop

More oh look how it just sat on the top did you see that mhm oh smooth yes that is so smooth all right well that’s I’m going to mix that more let’s get this candle going let that Wick burn down a little I would say it’s definitely topping ready so that Wick’s burning

Down we’ll put the fondue pot on and we’ll pour this in and we’ll move this out of the way I want to unplug it though so let me do that all right here we go o better perspective that’s what we need let’s see is it creamy enough it sure looks creamy enough every

Morel that’s almost every morsel but I have come prepared okay I think I should be able just go right in now and and eat how hot is it I don’t know but I don’t want to let it sit too long okay oo I lost some all right let me just uh change

Camera angle here bring my snacks in and I will give them a taste there we go okay here here we go let’s remove the lid let me try a pretzel stick first because I can stir with it and then see how the chocolate holds ooh that’s perfect let’s get a bite of

That it’s very nice and creamy boy I wish I had something to drink now I don’t gram cracker see how nice that holds so you get a good amount came out really nice you always worried that your fondu items going to fall in the fondue pot hases that ever

Happened to you okay as far as warmth that’s not hot it’s a little warm but it’s not bad swirl oh don’t swirl swirl okay swirl and gently pull out banana with chocolate how about the chocolate covered strawberry you almost have to put it near the edge like that I’ve learned

Now that’s a lot of chocolate Okay will it make it to my mouth well here’s one way to find out here’s one easier way to do it there strawberry gr cracker I think that’s my favorite so far the strawberry this time I’m going to Stew it lengthwise it could be too that maybe

The heat maybe I could have heated up little bit more but it’s still pretty nice there’s something about the warm chocolate and the cold strawberry which is a nice combination let’s Stir It the best thing about this stir is that you could eat it I almost did

It we would call that the double dip what you should do let’s flip it over to the other side and then throw the rest away or get a spoon I’m going to try a banana this way go into the edge keep it close and there you go we got it M all

Right considering I haven’t had lunch and it’s past lunchtime I would say that’s a nice little snack made with real Hershey’s Kisses don’t forget to blow out the candle and thanks for watching hope you enjoyed the video I had fun making it let me know what you

Think have you had fond do chocolate covered strawberries let me you know and thanks for watching later all right I thought I was done and I just wanted to show you I was handwashing this not even using a sponge hot water just using my hands and it started
