False Start Fun Fondue

We've all had cheesey chili-dips at football parties, why not stir things up a bit and make a Fun Fondue with all the fixins'?

False Start Fun Fondue
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1/2 c. apple juice
2 T. green onion, chopped
dash pepper

dash paprika
whole wheat bread (I used Arnold's Dark Wheat)
white american cheese slices or string cheese
raw vegetables, cut up in bite-sized pieces


Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut Velveeta in chunks and place in medium saucepan with garlic, apple juice, pepper, paprika, and 1 T. green onion (reserve the rest of the onion for garnish). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted.

While fondue is cooking, lay out whole wheat bread on cutting board and cut into football shapes (2 footballs per slice).
Place on a cookie sheet and place american cheese or string cheese on top to make "laces". Bake at 400 until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Place fondue in a bowl and garnish with remaining green onion. Place "football toast" and cut up vegetables around the bowl and serve!

Nice! That is a very different fondue. The dip isn't chocolate, and there are vegetables in it! Did the kids like it?

Thanks for sharing!
