Valentine’s Brunch at The Melting Pot~ Turtle Cheesecake Fondue

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
I celebrated Valentine’s Day a little early with a decadent brunch at The Melting Pot and then a matinee of “Just Go With It”. Since I’m sure to be crazy busy at work tomorrow, on actual Vday, we thought celebrating early would be nice and certainly less crowded and busy.
 
  If you haven’t tried The Melting Pot you have no idea what you are missing! It’s a fondue restaurant with a one of a kind menu. I will say that they are expensive and we usually dine here once or twice a year on special occasions. Here’s a thrifty tip: go to your favorite restaurant for lunch or brunch instead of dinner. That’s what we did and we enjoyed the same special Vday dinner menu at brunch for $46 less!  http://www.meltingpot.com/

Decadent Turtle Cheesecake Fondue 

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces  milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup  chopped pecans
  • 4 ounces  cubed softened Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup  caramel ice cream topping

Instructions

  • Pour chocolate in a bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Stir and heat again until mostly melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  • Pour chocolate, caramel, pecans, and cream cheese into a electric fondue pot on med heat.
  • If you don't have an electric fondue pot simply warm in a saucepan on med-low.
  • Once ingredients are melted together set your fondue pot to warm.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers (I like strawberries and pineapple) and enjoy!

Every table has a burner in the middle of the table to cook your fondue.
 You have a server that prepares all the fondue for you tableside and brings your
 dippers and sauces. All you have to do is cook your food in the hot fondue and enjoy!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica. Love all the cool places to see in Missouri! 🚗 #route66 #Missouri #marshfield #exploremore #travelgram #roadtrip
