When was the last time you had a fondue date night? At home or out at a restaurant, it’s probably been a while. Did you know, though, that you can skip the restaurant and make your own fondue feast at home? From your delicious cheddar cheese fondue appetizer to your coq au vin fondue main course to — of course, the main event — chocolate turtle fondue. With a few ingredients and the basic understanding of preparation, you’ll feel like you’re at The Melting Pot in the comfort of your own kitchen!
The Appetizer
Start off strong with some cheesy goodness and you’ll be setting the tone for a successful at-home fondue date. This cheddar cheese dip is a copycat recipe from The Melting Pot, so make sure you pay close attention to the ingredients to get every detail correct. Inside this delicious dip is sharp cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, garlic, Pabst Worcestershire sauce, flour, dry powder mustard, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Take your pick between bread, soft pretzels, veggies, and fruit for your dipping options.
The Main Course
Creating the perfect fondue date could not be complete without a little coq au vin fondue. The beauty of this is that very little preparation is needed, you just need to do the work when you are ready to eat. It doesn’t take much to make the fondue, just vegetable broth, diced mushrooms, minced onion, and minced garlic. Foods you can dip into your fondue can be beef, shrimp, baby potatoes, white mushrooms, and ravioli.

The Closing Act
The way you end a meal can be just as, if not more, important than the way you begin it. This chocolate turtle fondue is simple to throw together, you’ll just need semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel syrup, a salted caramel candy bar, heavy cream, and chopped pecans. From there, you have a range of options to choose from for your dipping method. A few of our favorites are strawberries, pound cake, Rice Krispie Treats, and brownies.
Enjoy your fun, fancy date indoors! Once you know the basics, you’ll be wanting a repeat week after week.
