How about a very crunchy crackle for today’s meal? And to make it even better, how about a delicious cheese sauce to go with it? We have put these two delights together and created the spectacular crackling fondue!
Believe me, if the fondue was already good, it got even better. But did you know the recipe has Swiss origin?
