Dark Chocolate Slow Cooker Fondue with Blood Orange Agrumato & Aged Balsamic

Is there a more appropriate dessert to serve when hanging out with friends and family over the holidays than a Chocolate Fondue? Not in my house, and I will admit that I serve this to my friends year-round. Not only does it give you something to “do” while you are chatting after a meal, but it’s also very easy and customizable for each person.
