There will be no football watching at our house on Sunday. I like to watch football. We watch football every Sunday during football season. However, my husband will be watching Super Bowl with his buddies and I really don’t care about the game. I follow the Saints and the Seahawks so this year I don’t need to watch the “big” game.
My girls and I are going to have a fondue party and watch old movies. If it is a hit we might invite some girlfriends over next year. I think Super Fondue Party could be an annual thing.

Welsh Rarebit Fondue (original recipe)
- 4 cups shredded sharp cheddar
- 1/2 cup beer
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- dash hot pepper sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Have cheese at room temperature. In a small bowl beat the cheese on low with a hand mixer gradually add beer. Mix at medium speed until fluffy. Add Worcestershire, mustard, garlic and hot sauce. Beat well. Melt in fondue pot on stovetop. Blend cornstarch and water, add to fondue. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
This is an old fondue recipe from my mama. We had fondue on New Year’s Eve when I was growing up. I have seen several recipes for fondue broth floating around and I know it would be healthier than frying, but I don’t want boiled beef. I just don’t. We don’t have fondue all that often anyway. I think the last time I had fondue was in college. Can that be right? My husband has moved my fondue set (including pottery plates) all over the country for over ten years and we have never had fondue? That can’t be right.
Chocolate Fondue (adapted from the Gourmet International Fondue cookbook, vintage-super fun)
- 2 tablespoons of honey or light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dairy free coffee creamer (nutpods)
- 1 cups allergy free chocolate chips (Enjoy Life or similar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto (after the kids go to bed)
Heat honey and creamer on stove, when honey is melted lower heat and stir in chocolate. Stir constantly until chocolate is melted. Stir in vanilla and liquor (if using).
I haven’t made the vegan cheese fondue yet and I have a couple of recipes I want to try before I post one. Here are the contenders:
Melty Stretchy Gooey Vegan Mozzarella
I’ll let ya know how it goes. I’m also thinking of making my mom’s Welsh Rarebit with Dayia or Follow Your Heart vegan cheese. Sometimes commercial vegan cheese turns to liquid when you melt it though. Tricky.
I can’t seem to do anything without making a Pinterest board for it, so here is my fondue party board:
Yea for Pinterest and people who take pretty food pictures!
