KID FRIENDLY FONDUE-REGARDS, --TASTY--
You don't need a fondue pot to prepare and serve this dish, but it would make for a fun and interesting conversation piece with your children at the dining table. It may also be worth it to you to dust off your old fondue pot from the basement or look for one cheaply at a second hand store. A mild cheddar cheese will work in this recipe, too and if you don't have roasted garlic on hand, just go ahead and add a small pinch of salt-free garlic powder.

- Grate the cheese finely: This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the fondue from burning.
- Cook the fondue slowly: This will help to prevent it from curdling.
- Stir the fondue constantly: This will help to keep it smooth and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Bread, vegetables, and fruit are all popular choices.
