Romantic Fondue Valentine's Day Menu

This romantic fondue Valentine's Day menu is such a treat. Fondue is such an easy entree to prepare as long as you keep stirring! Also, you can have fun choosing different dippers. And did you know there's a long standing tradition that states anyone who loses a dipper in the fondue pot has to kiss his or her sweetie?

You can include proven aphrodisiacs in this meal, like oysters (smoked oysters would be wonderful), and avocados. For the ultimate treat, you just have to taste smooth, buttery sweet avocado dipped into hot melted cheese!

Fondue recipes contain wine and garlic as well, two more aphrodisiacs. You can make your own fondue from scratch, or buy refrigerated packages of fondue at the deli department in the regular grocery store or online.

For dessert, of course, strawberries dipped in chocolate is the perfect finish. Instead of chocolate dipped strawberries, which can be messy to eat, try some beautiful strawberries with a small dish of melted chocolate. Double dipping is required!

Set a beautiful little table in front of the fireplace with your best china, crystal, and silverware, dim the lights, put something romantic on the iPod, and you have a recipe for romance!

• Cheese Fondue
  This classic recipe is delicious, smooth, and creamy. Be sure to light the candle or sterno can under the fondue pot to heat it before you pour the melted cheese mixture into the pot. And make sure that you monitor the fondue as you eat it; even with a candle, it can burn on the bottom.
