Adapted from The Melting Pot, this cheddar cheese fondue recipe is a family-friendly fondue dip without the alcohol or strong flavours that makes cheese fondue not often a first (or second) choice for a family meal, no matter the occasion.

Since bread and cheese are toddler staples, the fun of a fondue is worth dusting off that old set you inherited. And there’s always the thought of chocolate fondue for dessert. YUM.
