Cheese or Chocolate fondue?

I received 2 fondue pots and I wanted to do chocolate in one and cheese in the other. Any cheese fondue recipes you'd care to share? And what's the best bread to use?Cheese or Chocolate fondue?
Use french bread cubes for dipping. Here's a traditional but easy recipe for cheese fondue:

CHEESE FONDUE

1 tbsp. butter

4 oz. Gruyere-Emmenthale cheese

1 c. dry white wine

1 tbsp. flour

Pinch of cayenne

Pinch of nutmeg

4 tbsp. kirsch

Melt together in a saucepan on the top of the stove. Rub inside of fondue pot with a cut clove of garlic, then transfer cheese mixture into it and keep heated.



Here's a chocolate fondue recipe:

CHOCOLATE FONDUE

1 c. sugar

3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa

1/3 c. water

1 c. milk

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 c. butter

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tbsp. liqueur (Creme de Menthe, Grand Marnier, Kahlua, etc)



Combine sugar and cocoa in heavy 3 quart saucepan, blend in water and stir in both milks and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until begins to boil. Remove from heat, add vanilla and liqueur, pour into fondue pot and use low Sterno flame to prevent scorching. Makes 3 1/4 cup sauce.

For dipping, use pieces of apple, pear, peach, banana, strawberries, pineapple chunks, marshmallows or pound cake. Arrange on serving platter.

dont forget teh strawberries to dip in teh choc.



sounds great - what time is dinner
A hard crusty bread along with veggies for the cheese fondue. Bargain Books has a lot of cook books on fondueing at resonable costs. That way you'd probably use it more to try out a lot of recipes.Cheese or Chocolate fondue?
i would make sure i had some fruit for the chocolate

and some veggies for the cheese

i dont know, but i have always wanted a fondue pot....good luck with it!
For a chocolate fondue, here are some great dippers:

Marshmallows, cherries (w/stems) pineapple chunks, oreos, Graham crackers, nutter butter, Frozen Pound cake, bananas, strawberries, blackberries or pretzels!

Don't forget a little heavy cream and a splash of liquor!
Make a basic white sauce in a saucepan on the stove. When finished transfer to your fondue pot and add as much or as little of shredded cheese as you like. You are pretty much free to do what you want...choose any cheese you like. Adding chopped chives or sliced green onion adds an additional 'yum factor'. Stir to combine and melt the cheese. Your fondue is ready to go.



This recipe is extremely simple and cheap to make...not to mention delicious. I would serve it with sourdough or something equally nice and crusty like french bread.



As far as chocolate goes...I have only ever broken up a large chocolate bar and added 2 tbsp. of butter and a dash of cinnamon to get it going in the pot. Oey goey and yummy.
Both are quite good.
