Cheese Fondue

Change up your snack or meal routine with our Cheese Fondue! While you might think you need a fancy fondue set to enjoy this snack, that’s simply not the case. You can create a fondue experience for your family using tools you already have including a saucepan, and skewers or straws.

We love fondue because it teaches children how to experience a communal meal where everything is shared and friends are gathered together to enjoy the experience. Fondue is also a great opportunity to help children experience a variety of fruits, veggies, and breads. Make sure to have a variety of dippers available so children will be encouraged to try something new when eating fondue.

Kids Can Help:

  • Choose their favorite fruits and veggies to dip.
  • Place fruits and veggies on straws or skewers.
  • With adult supervision, stir in the cheese.
