New Recipe of the week 9- Chocolate mint fondue in crockpot

I had to borrow this picture because mine didn't turn out very well.  This has potential to be a great recipe but I think my crockpot must get too hot even on low because it burned the chocolate around the edges but it was really good in the middle.  I'm going to have to play around with it to get it just right.

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon mint extract or 2 tablespoons peppermint schnapps (

marshmallows or cookies for serving 

The Directions.

Use a 2-quart slow cooker. Put the chocolate chips into your slow cooker. Add the heavy whipped cream and mint extract (or the schnapps). Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so. I really like melting chocolate in the slow cooker because you really don't need to worry about it scorching. If you smell the chocolate, give it a quick stir.

Serve with your favorite cookies or marshmallows or fruit.
