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!
