I like using Gruyere cheese and don't forget to put white wine in there! mmmmmmmm

I don't have a recipe but I really wanted to say mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If you go to whole foods and ask the cheese guys there, I bet they could give you a killer combo!

Funny timing - I just made cheese fondue last night (I make it like once a year, not often at all), but when I do I use Rachael Ray's German Cheddar Beer Fondue. Its easy and AMAZING. I don't usually love her recipes but this is a great one. You can find it on foodnetwork.com/.

Funny---I made fondue for the first time for a superbowl party last week! My only mistake was we cooked it before hand---you'll want to serve it right away! Also, I think there is too much bacon and almonds in recipe so I'd use less...also, don't worry about smoking almonds, it takes too long

Here is Rachael Ray's Smoked Gouda Fondue

6 slices thick cut bacon
8 ounces Gruyere, shredded
1/3 pound, about 6 ounces, smoked Gouda, shredded
1 rounded tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large clove garlic, smashed away from skin
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup smoked almonds, coarsely chopped

Broil bacon on slotted pan until crisp. Drain, cool and chop. Make the fondue: combine cheeses in a bowl with flour. Rub the inside of a small pot with smashed garlic then discard. Add wine and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice and bring up to a bubble over medium heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and add cheese in handfuls. Stir constantly, melting the cheese in batches. Stir in a figure-eight pattern with wooden spoon. Transfer the fondue to fondue pot and top with chopped bacon and smoked nuts.
