Kid-Friendly Fondue Bar + Recipes!
December 22, 2014
Featuring a darling and fun kid-friendly fondue bar set up by Evite and Chiquita Bites! You’re going to love the delicious and easy cheese or chocolate fondue recipes!
If there are two things kids love, it’s cheese and chocolate. So for a special celebration, set up a bar featuring Evite’s easy, kid-friendly cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. After all, what’s more fun than fondue?
Healthy dippables like apple slices (such as Chiquita Bites, which are conveniently packaged pre-sliced) are perfect accompaniments to both cheese and chocolate fondues!
This cheese fondue recipe skips the white wine and calls for mild monterey jack to appeal to kid palates (just save it for kids 4 and above, as melted cheese, fondue pots and pointy skewers can be safety hazards for younger children). It can be served warm in a bowl and eaten immediately or last all party long in a fondue pot set on low.

Two ingredients is all you need for this show-stopping dessert kids and adults alike will love (just save it for kids 4 and above, as fondue pots and pointy skewers can be safety hazards for younger children).

Set up colorful tents and picnic tables where kids can relish the fun of dipping fruits into melted chocolate. Create a Decorate-your-own Cupcake station with various sprinkles and icings. Incorporate games like Pin the Tail on the Donkey or a mini treasure hunt to keep the excitement high. Use chalk to draw game boards on the driveway for classics like hopscotch. And have a soothing campfire for roasting marshmallows as the night falls.
Budget for a Kid Friendly Fondue Bar Party
