Last post for the day...FONDUE!

We didn't have our Christmas Eve Fondue this year, so we decided to do a little chocolate on New Year's Eve. The kids loved it.



I'll share my favorite recipes. FYI...I do not even use a fondue pot anymore. The chocolate is prepared in the microwave and I just serve it in the dish I make it in. The Cheese I do on the stove and then serve from a dish...heating if necessary after a while. Then you don't have to deal with scorching on the pots and stuff. It's not as pretty though.

*Note: Yesterday I did half the Chocolate Recipe and it was the perfect amount for us--no leftovers.

Melt in microwave stirring every minute until well blended and smooth. All sugar should be dissolved.
