Start by chopping your semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces. This ensures even melting.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate and heavy whipping cream. Place it over low heat. Stir continuously.
Watch for the chocolate to begin to melt. Keep stirring.
Once fully melted and smooth, remove from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract.
Transfer to a fondue pot or heatproof bowl.
Arrange assorted fruits and treats for dipping.
Encourage guests to dip their favorites into the melted chocolate.
Enjoy the experience of dipping and sharing.
Reflect on the fun evening spent together.
