For a simpler fondue evening, make a pot of cheese fondue and a pot of chocolate fondue. I like to serve the cheese with three or four of the following: bread, carrots, cauliflower, celery, apple, and salami but you can use whatever you prefer. Make sure and provide dipping forks and individual plates for each guest. I like to serve chocolate fondue with an assortment of five or six things like bananas, strawberries, cherries, blackberries, pineapple, marshmallows, rice krispie treats, shortbread, thin butter cookies, and brownies. So delicious!
