Valentine's Day is almost here! And, when I think of Valentine's Day I think of chocolate fondue. Maybe, it's because my first job was at a premiere chocolate shop. Or, because my family always celebrated holidays with fondue. So, I knew I wanted to do a fondue with my other favorite food obsession — cookie butter. My cookie butter love started with Trader Joe's. So, it only seemed fair to make fondue and all the accompaniments from Trader Joe's too.
This Trader Joe's Chocolate Cookie Butter Fondue is served with unique dippers like brookies (brownie and cookie bars), waffle sugar cookies, chocolate babka (sweet braided bread) and coconut macaroons. But, for traditional fondue lovers, there's fresh strawberries, slices of bananas and salty pretzels. You'll want to dive into this luscious dessert with your valentine. No reservations required.
Chocolate Cookie Butter Fondue Ingredients:
You only need 3 ingredients and 10 minutes to make a delicious chocolate cookie butter fondue for any and all occasions!
- Chocolate – choose milk or dark chocolate in either chocolate chips, chunk or bar form. I buy the $5 5 lb. bars at Trader Joe's and hand chop the chocolate. It's perfect for this fondue, brownies and cookies.
- Heavy whipping cream – this adds a creamy, rich texture.
- Cookie Butter – use a Trader Joe's or Biscoff brand. This adds a rich, creamy and a bit of gingerbread spice flavor.
How to Make Chocolate Cookie Butter Fondue:
- If using a chocolate bar, chop chocolate into small chunks/ bits. I recommend using a serrated knife for chopping.
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan.
- Melt all ingredients over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until warm.
- Transfer to a fondue pot or serving bowl.
- If desired, melt ½ - 1 tbsp of cookie butter in the microwave. Drizzle on top of the fondue. Use a toothpick to swirl the cookie butter and chocolate for a pretty presentation!
- Serve fondue warm with your favorite foods to dip in!
Recipe Notes:
- What is cookie butter? Cookie butter is a spread made from ground-up spice cookies called speculoos or biscoff cookies.
- What did I serve with this fondue? Brookies (brownie/chocolate chip cookie bars), butter waffle cookies, coconut macaroons, strawberries, bananas, chocolate brooklyn babka, and pretzels. All of these items were found at my local Trader Joe's.
- How much does this cost? Assuming you have absolutely none of these ingredients, the cost is roughly $30 + tax. $11.69 is for the fondue ingredients and $18.33 for the dippers. Note: you're only using a portion of some of the ingredients.
- What else can I serve with fondue? Here are some delicious ideas...
- Fruit fondue dippers: Oranges, mandarins, blackberries, apples, cherries or pineapple
- Cookie fondue dippers: shortbread, Madeleine, Oreos, biscotti, or meringue cookies
- Other sweet fondue dippers: graham crackers, marshmallows, pound cake, rice krispies or donut holes
