Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue

1- 12 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4-1 c. heavy whipping cream
1/3-3/4 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla

This may not be very precise but... it's experimentation based on a number of recipes. Combine chocolate chips and 3/4 c. cream in a heavy saucepan and put over a little less than medium heat, stirring constantly. The chocolate should gradually melt into the cream. (Do not try to heat this too hot or too fast or it will burn.) Add the peanut butter to taste and the vanilla and stir until smooth. Keep gently warm. (You can always add a little more cream if the sauce gets too thick.)

This is just a very basic dessert fondue, and it serves a lot of people. Goes wonderfully with apple and banana slices, strawberries, chunks of pound cake, marshmallows, etc.
