My kids are now college age and already asking for certain items for dipping. This year we are doing Melting Pot style at home and having three courses. A cheese fondue, a meat fondue and of course a chocolate fondue. For the last few years we have used the chocolate fountain for the dessert and it adds to the fun:-) We have been doing this for years.

Combine 1 stick of butter, I package of chocolate chips (milk or semisweet), and 1 small can of sweetened condensed milk. Melt it all together and enjoy! This does not work in fondue fountains, however. The chocolate is much too thick! I like to do it in a crock pot or something similar. We love to dip cinnamon bears and pretzels. Yum!

I have been to a fondue party ONCE and LOVED IT! I've since tried to always bring some sort of findue goodness to our New Years Eve party. I made a hot fudge that is super easy and way yummy - it's runny when hot (thickens when it cools), and I considered doing this for chocolate fondue: http://www.fabulesslyfrugal.com/2009/11/microwave-hot-fudge-sauce-for-all-your.html Thanks for the Cheese Fondue recipe - I'm going to give it a try!

Such great ideas! I hosted a fondue party recently and used a Southern Living Mississippi Mud fondue recipe. It was delicious and super easy, only four or five ingredients. I'm pretty sure it came from their Nov 09 issue. I just found your site via Hogwash. Such great ideas!
