Serving Suggestions
Fondue seems to be a food style that drops in and out of popular trends. Fondue used to be a popular dish for dinner parties in the fifties, sixties and seventies. As the saying goes, "everything old is new again". Isn't it time you hauled out that old fondue pot for this fun dessert?
