More goodies from The Vegan Slow Cooker for Two or Just You.
This deceptively simple dip fits into the grooviest ’70s fondue party and works just as well as a weeknight meal. You can serve it with steamed veggies, toasted bread cubes, or tempeh. Another great way to dress it up is to mix in some green or puréed veggies, which you can vary each time you make it.

July 30, 2013 at 1:01 pmActually sounds delish. I’ve never had a fondue party, but it sounds so fun. I’d be hooked if all they served is hot, warm pretzel bites with a spicy fondue cheese or spicy mustard. 😉 Thank you for the recipe. One, I definitely be willing to try.

July 30, 2013 at 1:03 pmI love the idea of warm pretzel bites! You have to have a fondue party at least once. Plus you can make a healthy dessert fondue with fruit for dessert!

Kathy Hester says
September 3, 2015 at 1:07 pmI haven’t tried it before, but I think it would work just fine!

May 6, 2017 at 3:47 amDo you think it would be okay to blend this in the slow cooker using an immersion blender?
