Look for used fondue pots in thrift or vintage stores.

Arrange the dip-ables on a platter or plates around the chocolate pot.

If the fondue begins to feel a little stiff, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir.

It will help it go a little longer.

Eventually, it will cook down though, and you may need to start a new pot.
