Cheesecake and Brownies are great for dipping too. As for a wine to serve with it, I’m addicted to a local concoction that’s a very sweet [raspberry infused wine.](http://www.scvwines.com/wines.htm) (They may deliver too 😉 ) ---

Meringue cookies are very good dipped in chocolate. So are marshmellows. Or Peeps. And donut holes. You can also put out some coconut and crushed nuts to roll the chocolate covered items in. ---

My boyfriend and I are doing a fondue dry run tonight. I think I’ll take about half of your ideas for that, and half for the dinner party. They all sound so good, but I can’t possibly put out all this food. I got a special dessert wine last night. An Essensia Califronia Ornage Muscat. That should work, with teh Grand Marnier in the pot. ---

We recently got a Cuisinart electric fondue pot, it’s much more convenient than messing with Sterno or that gelled fuel stuff. It has a magnetic breakaway power cord, so if you’re clumsy you won’t pull a pot full of burn trauma on yourself. For bread, I’d look for something firm and not crumbly, maybe even slighly stale. Soft breads may fall off the fork or fall apart in the fondue. ---

Does anyone have a good cheese fondue recipe for those of us who can’t stand Swiss cheese? ---

Blasphemer! 😛 [RecipeSource](http://www.recipesource.com/side-dishes/cheese/fondue/) has quite a few, including Cheddar Fondue, Cheddar Harvest Fondue, Curried Cheese Fondue, and Ricotta and Feta Fondue.
