Warm, melted chocolate. Fresh, tarty strawberries. Hmmm....
Lost in thought but oh so worth it. Fondue has made it's comeback. From About.com, I learn that fondue is very popular in the fifties, sixties, and seventies at dinner parties. Without devouring a heavy meal, yet creating a similar ambiance, we replicated our own Melting Pot at a reasonable budget.
Making fondue is worthwhile, fun, and definitely a team activity. For those who does not like chocolate, we also had melted caramel. Our fondue pots were brought in by staff. It is easy to borrow from a family member or friend if you do not have one. Most sets can be purchased for under $20.
On the dipping side, we have bananas, apples, strawberries, cookies, marshmallows, and other snacks that are easily found at a local supermarket. Here is a recipe for the chocolate found at Recipezaar.com: http://www.recipezaar.com/Chocolate-Fondue-23054.
Remember that the chocolate can be hot so cool the food a little after it has been dipped. Try to divide everything evenly between clients so each person can have a little taste of each item.
