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!

- Cheese Fondue
This classic recipe is delicious, smooth, and creamy. Be sure to light the candle or sterno can under the fondue pot to heat it before you pour the melted cheese mixture into the pot. - Mild Cheese Fondue
This fondue, without wine or alcohol, is made by creating a roux and a white sauce, then melting the cheese in the sauce. It's just as rich and flavorful as the first recipe, but a bit easier to make. - Dippers

- Cooked meatballs
- Cubes of crusty french bread
- Cherry tomatoes
- Apple slices
