Cheese Fondue
In our house, we often have fondue nights for special occasions because they are so much fun and way cheaper than going out to a fondue restaurant. You can also customize your fondue and the dippers to your desire. Our go-to is cheese fondue because we prefer savory and it serves as a meal. We usually cook the fondue in a pan on the stovetop and transfer it to the fondue pot rather than cooking it directly in the fondue pot. We found that it cooks a lot faster this way and is a lot less messy. Be careful, it is very addicting!
