I adopted this recipe from a member here at Zaar. This was her original description: "My daughter begged to take this recipe to school for her birthday party treat rather than cupcakes when she was six! The teachers asked me to make a separate batch for them the next time. We've been eating it every chance we get for the last twenty years. Given to me by a co-worker years' ago."

CRAB CHEESE FONDUE
This is a creamy, delicious fondue! It is a hit whenever I make it. Guests get so excited to get a big piece of crab and much noise is made when it slips and falls back into the pot! Someone always ends up with a spoon scraping the pot for one last taste! Serve with French bread cubes, using a fondue fork to spear bread and swirl in fondue to coat. Try dipping grapes, carrot slices, or rye bread, whatever you like. I usually serve this fondue with a light salad.

MAINE CRAB CAKES
These little hummers come together quickly and are sooo good. I like to chill the crab cakes for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. I'm partial to Maine crab 'cause it's in my backyard and really sweet. If using other type of crab, don't use the expensive claw meat. The less expensive crab (body and knuckle mixture) binds together better.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your fondue will taste. This means using fresh crabmeat, sharp cheddar cheese, and a good quality white wine.
- Don't overcook the crabmeat: Crabmeat cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality fondue pot: A good fondue pot will distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options: This could include bread, vegetables, fruit, or seafood.
- Keep the fondue warm: Fondue is best served warm, so keep it over a low heat source or in a fondue pot that has a built-in warmer.
