Chocolate Caramel Raspberry Fondue (For Mini Crock Pot)

Submitted by HeatherFeather

"I first tasted this fondue at a friend's Christmas party about 8-9 years ago. I think just about everyone left that party with a copy of the recipe! I have served this at my own parties many times with great success. I enjoy serving this with strawberries, fresh pineapple chunks, cantaloupe, bananas, and sponge cake as the dippers. This makes enough fondue to partly fill a medium-sized crockpot."

I served this at the party and did get good reviews. I, however, thought it was a bit too sweet with the raspberry jam.
