Making fondue on Valentine’s Day has been one of our favorite family traditions for the past 5+ years.  But this delicious and easy cheese fondue is great any day of the year!  It comes together in minutes and is kid-friendly, containing no alcohol.

I love serving this cheese fondue with roasted veggies, chunks of bread, green apples, crackers, and any other pantry items that look like they’d go well with a cheese dip.

This recipe is SO easy with an electric fondue pot.  It makes it a one-pot recipe.  You don’t have to deal with any heating candles, the temperature can be adjusted, and it’s dishwasher-safe.  Grab my favorite model here.  If you don’t have a fondue pot, you can also heat the ingredients on the stove and transfer to a slow cooker to eat.

We always pair this cheese fondue with our chocolate fondue, so make sure to check out that recipe as well!
