A fondue theme dinner party is easy to put together and
something that will provide fun for all ages. Fondue comes from the
French language meaning "to melt." Fondue can be made in a special
fondue pot but can also be created in a crock pot, microwave or
saucepan. If using the microwave or saucepan place pan or microwave
bowl on a electric hot plate. Set on low and stir often.
Use your Fondue pot as your centerpiece. Include sticks for your food
and have each family member or guest pick out a dipper to bring to the
party. Ideas could be bread cubes, ham chunks, chicken cubes, fresh
vegetables or one of the dessert dippers below.

For your fondue theme dinner try making the party into a fondue and
