Hey folks, any idea why my chocolate fondue keeps separating? I've been trying to nail the perfect fondue, but every time I melt the chocolate, it ends up separating into an oily mess. Any tips or tricks to keep it smooth and creamy? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey there! It sounds like your chocolate might be separating because it’s getting too hot or there’s a bit of moisture in the mix. Try melting it gently over a double boiler and avoid any water contact. Adding a bit of cream or milk can also help keep it smooth and creamy. Good luck!

Maybe your chocolate isn't staying warm enough, or it could be separating because of a lack of fat. Try adding a little bit of cream or butter! Hope that helps!

Chocolate fondue might separate if it's overheated or if you used low-fat chocolate. Keep it at a low temperature and use high-quality chocolate for a smoother fondue.
