Go retro with a fabulous fondue party that guests will love.
Fondue parties were a social staple of the '70s and are still a good way to spend an evening with friends today. Gather a small group together to enjoy some decadent dinner and dessert fondue and conversation. Put together a party that everyone will love, and enjoy being able to hang out with your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen all night. Simply prepare the fondues beforehand and leave them warming in fondue pots, and get ready to enjoy your evening.
Instructions
1. Purchase or get out your fondue pot. If you don't have one already, buy an electric one for convenience. The older models use a candle to heat the fondue, and the newer ones are much easier to use and less of a hassle. If you're having more than one type of fondue or more than half a dozen guests, you may want to use several fondue pots.
2. Select recipes. A good appetizer fondue is the basic cheese recipe served with cubed bread for dipping. For the main course, think about cubes of meat served with a hot oil fondue or a spicy soy sauce fondue. The possibilities for fondues are endless. For dessert, the classic chocolate fondue is always a hit. Some dipping ideas include angel food cake, fruits, pretzels, brownies and graham crackers.
3. Prepare the fondues about half an hour before guests arrive. Lay out all the dippers and plates on a buffet table with plates and silverware. Drinks that go well with fondue include wine, hot tea and coffee. Set everything out on the table so guests can serve themselves and mingle while they eat.
