NATIONAL CHOCOLATE FONDUE DAY:  THE HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Chocolate fondue has been enjoyed by people for hundreds of years. It is believed to have originated in 18th century Switzerland when it was served as a catalyst for socializing and partying. Chocolate fondue began to become popular in the United States during the 1950s and 60s, spurred on by a recipe published in 194o for Swiss Fondue au Chocolat that used melted semisweet chocolate with various items such as fruit, marshmallows, or biscuit pieces dipped into the concoction.

By the end of the 1960s, chocolate fondue had entered the mainstream, and variations involving other ingredients like cream and liqueurs started appearing at upscale restaurants.
