If the word “fondue” conjures up sepia-toned images of the classic '70s wedding gift, it's time for a reintroduction. Originating in Switzerland, fondue consists of melting cheese, chocolate, or oil and dunking fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, or other treats for a fun and delicious meal or dessert.
As many of us look back on a long winter spent mostly indoors, we can plan a warming evening of fondue indulgence. It's a meal and activity rolled into one that (with a little supervision) can keep the whole family entertained. Try some of these sweet and savory options at home and discover a new way to spend cool, dark evenings or chilly afternoons.
