Would you rather…eat cheese or chocolate fondue? Tough question, right? Matt and the kids would say chocolate, no question. However, I would prefer cheese any day!
We purchased a fondue pot last year and broke it in for New Year’s Eve with both chocolate and cheese fondue. It was seriously the most fun and delicious dinner. Ever since, the kids have been begging for another fondue night, so we promised chocolate fondue for Valentine’s Day dessert this year and I am counting down the days…
In case you missed the recipes from my Winter Break Rewind post, I wanted to share them again in their own post…well, because they certainly deserve their very own post!

Fondue Pots
I spent a good amount of time researching and reading reviews to decide which fondue pot to purchase. I ended up selecting the Cuisinart Electric Fondue Pot mostly because of the removable temperature control that is adjustable for a wide range of recipes — chocolate, cheese, broth, oil, etc. The stainless steel bowl features a nonstick interior so it is easy to clean (especially helpful when switching from cheese to chocolate) and the set also includes 8 color coded fondue forks for the kids to fight over.
So the good news is fondue pots are a popular item around Valentine’s Day so you can find many of them on sale — woohoo! The bad news is they are in high demand so they may sell out quickly. I’ve rounded up some of electric fondue pots for ya below!

The perfect dinner experience to ring in the new year or celebrate birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries and more! Feel free to go a little crazy with your cheese dippers. Some of our favorite include broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower florets, carrots, cubed salami, sliced bell peppers, diced apple, bread sticks, french baguette cubes The perfect dinner experience to ring in the new year or celebrate birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries and more! It is VERY important that you use HIGH QUALITY chocolate for fondue. It really makes a huge difference in how evenly and smoothly the chocolate will melt. I used ghirardelli chocolate for our fondue.

This looks amazing!! Thanks for the motivation to get out the fondue pot we got as a wedding gift and actually use it! I know my family would be thrilled for a Valentine’s Day fondue party.
Great ideas and I have had a fondue pot for nearly 30 years. Yum yum.
