I’ve loved fondue since the late 60’s. In 1970 my new husband and I traveled to Europe and fell in love with the cheese fondue that we had in Switzerland. We bought a ceramic fondue pot (good for cheese and dessert fondues) and had it shipped back home. We almost always have fondue on New Year’s Eve. I love the chocolate fondue at the Melting Pot and if your guests aren’t allergic to peanuts, a small amount of peanut butter mixed in is delicious! We dip raw vegetables, apples and bread in the cheese version.
My family is German and we have a Fall fondue tradition. Beer cheese recipe and homemade chocolate with buttermilk biscuits. Thank you Paula! Much and many thanks for sharing your time!
I have an electric fondue now....but I remember the ones with the candle. My Aunt had one back in the late 60's. My cousin and I loved it. When I was over we could hardly wait for her to help us make some. We were not allowed to do it because of the open flame, and we were quite young. I love my pot...and use it often. I make mine in my pot instead of on the stove. You can't turn them up very high because they get hot quickly. After my recipe is ready I cut it down to a 1 or 2 to stay warm. It's great for fondue, any dip you want to keep warm...and esp. when you are dipping candy around Christmas.
I got married back in the 70's and I think it was a law or something because that seemed to have been the automatic gift for weddings. 😋 I remember making cheese fondue and it was so much fun to find things to dip. 😉 The same with chocolate, it was amazing to find so many things to dip. 😁 Thanks for sharing this little trip down memory lane! 🤗
I remember growing up my parents had a fondue pot. We used it for birthdays and dipped mostly pound cakes, brownies and fruits. I've never had one myself but might "need" one! Love your videos and your team!
To everyone watching this recipe is amazing. You can also use chambord instead of The orange liquor and it gives it a hint of raspberry flavor. I prefer it just chocolate and add a teaspoon of really good vanilla extract.
@@morgancalvi6675 they are just called extracts. :-) they make raspberry, orange, tons of flavors and they would be awesome in this as well. Just add a teaspoon though. They are very concentrated. :-)
I love about chocolate for this weekend before Valentine's day romance! I am simply trying for the delicious fondue before! Thanks again, y'all! 💓💕💞💝🍫🍫🍫
I still have and use my Sears electric fondue pot. My parents got it for me in the early '70's so I could do beef fondue which needs the added heat. I have also done cheese (my favorite uses beer) and chocolate fondues. My favorite chocolate dippers are fresh fruit.
I have a fondue pan from the 70 or early 80 love to use it for Valentines Day and strawberries are our favorite but also like the pound cake 😋👍💖Super Bowl we do cheese dips with it, looking forward to the tips video.
So much fun watching you showcase your very pretty AND affordable jewelry on JTV yesterday, Paula! (She is on again today at 2 PM Eastern time if any of you guys want to watch!)
I just bought 2 fondue pots; One is kept warm with a candle and the other is electric. I would like to make cheese fondue and a dessert fondue or create a hot pot for thin slices of meat.
This is an eye opener, I didn't realize there were any places that still did fondue. We went to a place in Nashville or Murfreesboro, it's been so long I can't remember now which, but I remember it was wonderful! So glad to know fondue is still around.
We also do a pizza fondue. Make a large homemade pizza sauce recipe (or store bought if you want) and all the fixins are meats you would put on a pizza, cubes of different cheeses, bread chunks, veggies. anything you would put on a pizza. Left over sauce is put in freezer for next pizza night.
Oh yum! I would love to try blonde brownies, bananas and/or banana bread. How about bacon or cinnamon French toast!!!!! Omg! LOVE fondue! ❤👍👍😂 Or maybe some orange segments......
I've always wanted to try fondue. I also wanted to go to the restaurant the melting pot. But, Im not even sure of thats still a thing? Someday I'll give it a whirl!❤❤❣❣
@@deborahhuckaby4623 I just meant are the melting pot restaurants still open, because way more popular stores are shuttingvdown, you never know now! So sad.
I HAVE TO DO THIS FOR VALENTINE'S ❤ITS BEEN YEARS PAULA YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TODAY THE RED GOES GOOD ON YOU AND I LOVE YOUR GRAY GLASSES THANKS FOR SHARING 🥰❤🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
We used to have Fondue parties followed by monopoly or card games. But the fondue was a complete meal with 4 or 5 pots on the table of peanut oils, for the meats, and cheesy dips for any veggie, all cut to bite size; and of course, the dessert One of chocolate and cut fruits and cake like you did here. Not to mention, assorted cocktails, like Mai ties . It was clean, simple fun for families back in 1970s. Thanks Paula for the memory.
The Melting Pot is expensive but amazing for special occasions and it's nice everything is ready for you. I'm partial to cheese fondue. Also, once you deep your food into the fondue, you don't take it from the fork with your mouth. You put it on a plate and eat it with a regular fork because your mouth touches the fork and that's the same as double dipping with the same chip you took a bite from.
I had fondue one time in a restaurant when my husband and I were dating in 1975. All I ate was a few pieces of cheese and a little apple and bread and was so buzzed in the alcohol! Ha!
I like fondue, but not sure what happen to the fondue container and I think M&M or Hershey shaped fondue container mainly for show gosh so long ago.need to make an effort and get one. now that I see how simple it is to make. I love strawberries and pound cake, like pineapple, thinking of a papya or mango. lol good day and stay safe
8 oz. It's in the written recipe. If you are on your phone click a little V to the right next to the video title, and it will drop down and if you are on a PC click more and there is a link.
Poor Paula must be tired of all the comments about her licking her finger...did you see her put it on her hand 🤣 at 6:36? i LOVED the expression on her....both face and body at 6:38...omg.
What are your favorite chocolate fondue dippers?
Idk because I've never had it. But have had chocolate covered strawberries. So, Im gonna go with strawberries 🍓 😋
Pretzels, marshmallows, nuts, Cookies with peanut butter in them and anything with orange flavor. Orange and chocolate is my favorite.
BROWNIES & ICE CREAM 🍨 Are My Favorite Fondue Dippers....So Yummy 🤤
Strawberries are my favorite but I love a marshmallow as well.
RED VELVET Fondue.....OH YES Please
Flashback to the 60s and 70s!!!💖

Hope to see a savory fondue recipe soon too!
Yeah, I was just reading to best use a cheese with herbs and spices.
Cherries (with pits removed), marshmallows, orange segments, and peanut butter balls are my favorites.
I remember growing up my parents had a fondue pot. We used it for birthdays and dipped mostly pound cakes, brownies and fruits. I've never had one myself but might "need" one! Love your videos and your team!
Anything chocolate 🍫 I’m in 😉.
When I’ve done it I’ve used cherries 🍒 love love everything u make and as always love watching u..
To everyone watching this recipe is amazing. You can also use chambord instead of
The orange liquor and it gives it a hint of raspberry flavor. I prefer it just chocolate and add a teaspoon of really good vanilla extract.
I think I would like the raspberry better.
That sounds amazing...are there any non alcholic extracts that would fit the bill. What are non alcoholic extracts called...again? I forget 🤔.
@@morgancalvi6675 they are just called extracts. :-) they make raspberry, orange, tons of flavors and they would be awesome in this as well. Just add a teaspoon though. They are very concentrated. :-)
@@momzillainnova no, extracts have alcohol...these have a different name.
@@momzillainnova Essence in Baking is what I was thinking of. Extracts generally have alcohol.
Happy Valentine's Day Mrs. Paula, Eddie, Theresa ❤❤❤ I love to fundu Strewberrys yum yum!
