Candy Bar Fondue

Ingredients

4 1.76 ounces bar chocolate-coated nougat with almonds, chopped
1 7 ounce bar milk chocolate, chopped
1 7 ounce jar marshmallow creme
¾ cup whipping cream, half-and-half, or light cream
¼ cup finely chopped almonds, toasted
2 – 3 tablespoons almond, hazelnut, or raspberry liqueur (optional)
Assorted dippers (such as filled sugar wafers, cubed pound cake, strawberries, cherries, and/or pineapple chunks)
Finely chopped toasted almonds, toasted coconut, miniature semisweet chocolate pieces, multicolored candy sprinkles, and/or toffee pieces (optional)

Directions

In a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker, combine nougat bar, milk chocolate bar, marshmallow creme, and cream.

Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup almonds and, if desired, liqueur.

If desired, transfer chocolate mixture to a 1 1/2-quart slow cooker. Serve immediately or keep warm, covered, on warm-heat or low-heat setting for up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Serve fondue with dippers, swirling pieces as you dip. If desired, dip into additional almonds, coconut, chocolate pieces, candy sprinkles, and/or toffee pieces to coat.
