Everyone loves fondue plates and they are without a doubt the easier methods of entertaining. Thank goodness for the serve yourself style party, where you aren’t run ragged trying to keep up with filling plates and pots to keep the party eats rolling.
With a fondue party, you simply add the heat, and the ingredients, and stack the bowls full of fresh fruit, bread cubes or a variety of meats and sit down with your guests to enjoy your own party.

You will enjoy the quiet time and the conversation that a small intimate family party invokes, and the kids will love the novel dinner idea.
