You do not have to use a fondue pot to make a chocolate fondue. This can be accomplished in a saucepan. Simply add the ingredients and melt using low heat. It is important that none of the ingredients come to a boil. It needs to be cooked low and slow or it will be grainy and possibly burn. If you are using a saucepan, the only issue will be with keeping the melted chocolate warm. You can pour the chocolate into a small crockpot to keep it warm for an easy solution.
