Romantic Fondue Dinner For Valentine's Day

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Fondue for Valentine's Day is such a treat. It's 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, my personal favorite. 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, I prefer setting out some beautiful strawberries with a small dish of melted chocolate. Double dipping is required!

Set a beautiful little table in front of the fireplace, dim the lights, and you have a recipe for romance!
