Fudge chocolate fondue recipe

This fudge chocolate fondue recipe is an easy chocolate fondue recipe that you could probably make without making a special trip to the grocery store. 

We used the recipe from the Hershey's site, but I might have cheated and used another brand of cocoa powder that I already had on hand.

I really liked how this fudge chocolate fondue tasted a lot like brownie batter, which I could eat by the spoonful. Only the fondue was warm and I could dip pretzels and pound cake in it without being scolded by my mom.
