Fondue Party, plus Make Your Own Donut Holes

For our family Christmas party this year we decided to do fondue!  I used to do fondue all the time, but with my limited budget, it's a rare treat now.  If you haven't planned out your New Year's Eve or Day menu this will give you an idea or two :)

Fondue Menu:

~savory~

cheddar cheese (shredded cheese and half & half)

pizza (cream cheese, spaghetti sauce and cheddar)

beef broth

homemade bbq sauce

~savory dippers~

three different breads

bagels

meatballs

chicken nuggets

little smokies

marinated steak chunks (to cook in the broth)

zuchinni (broth)

~sweet~

chocolate (milk chocolate and half & half)

oil (for donut holes and bananas)

~sweet dippers~

apples

grapes

bananas

refrigerated biscuit dough (donut holes)

pineapple

I now have THREE electric fondue pots... I found two at yard sales over the summer.  They're all vintage and I love them!

We did chicken nuggets for the littlest kids :)

Which were you this year?  Naughty or Nice?

Homemade donut holes are one of the coolest things to fondue!  The kids get a big kick out of making their own donuts and it's delicious!  All it takes is a can of refrigerator biscuit dough (the cheapy kind is fine!), oil and sugar.  Quarter each biscuit, wrap a biscuit dough quarter around your fondue fork and place it in hot oil until golden.

Roll the hot donut in sugar and enjoy!  These cook up really fast and are a huge hit every time!  Bananas are also delicious cooked in the oil until warm all the way through and rolled in sugar.  They remind me of a dessert I had at a Brazilian restaurant once.  Yum!

Showing off their donuts!  Be sure to always supervise kids around hot oil!
