Cheese Fondue Dip

One of my favorite snacks is anything paired with this warm cheese fondue dip. It’s a delicious side for a charcuterie board filled with dried meat or even roasted potatoes. A common way this dip is served at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen is with cut up raw vegetables and bite sized French bread. Trust me, if you’ve never had this dip, you definitely need to try it!

Although there are very few steps when it comes to making this tasty dip, it could be a little tricky if it’s not done correctly. The most common mistake is not getting the right consistency. For instance, if the fondue becomes too thick, you’ll want to stir in a small amount of dry white wine or apple juice. The wine does wonders, even preventing the cheese to clump, but also to not become stringy.
