This year Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday. In our books—that's the familiest of family days, which makes it the perfect time to celebrate Cupid's arrow as a family, with a fun and festive fondue meal.
Here are a couple of our favorite fondue recipes!
Cheese
We love this easy, cheesy recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe that keeps it classic and sans wine! Click HERE for the recipe.
Vegan Friendly Fondue (no cheese)
If you're trying to skip the cheese or need a vegan option for dietary purposes, Yummly has the fondue for YOU! Click HERE.
Chocolate
When it comes to kiddos, nothing beats chocolate fondue. Most adults agree. Satisfy your sweet tooth with this simple recipe from Chelsea's Messy Apron. Click HERE.
AND, if you've yet to purchase the perfect Fondue Pot—we love this classic white version with traditional colorful forks from Sur la Table.
For your DESSERT BAR, this is a fun time to let your kids help make decisions and join in the fun. It's also a good time to let your local grocery store bakery and candy aisles do the work for you (aka here is a list of "no baking" required options!)
VDAY Candy Corn
Of course we couldn't leave out the "most" important part of the holiday...WHAT TO WEAR! We rounded up our top picks of Valentine's Day looks that are as festive as they are cozy for celebrations at home.
