I am a true fondue lover! Every Valentine’s day, my hubby’s family gets together and does a huge fondue party. They are the best and have pretty much any kind of fondue out there… oil for steaks and chicken, cheese, and my favorite… CHOCOLATE! Oh goodness, I could dip pretty much anything in chocolate and it would make it that much more delicious!
I attended a blog conference in April where I was first introduced to Velata. Velata is seriously pure genius and makes fondue SO SIMPLE! No more candles or special things to heat your fondue… Nope! Velata uses a LIGHTBULB- making it safer, easier and just downright simple. Simply plug it in, turn the switch to the warming setting you want, and WAHLA! Ready to go!
Velata has a variety of flavors of chocolate for dipping (Caramel Milk being my personal fav :) ) all delicious, pure and smooth chocolate- just the way you want it to be!
One of the best things about Velata, is that the top piece that holds the chocolate is dishwasher safe! Thats right… just pop off the rubber top, rinse it out and put it in the dishwasher! AMAZING right?!
I was given a Velata warmer and some chocolates to try out and review. I brought them for the dessert at our Father’s Day party and they were probably the highlight of the menu! My whole family had fun dipping away and talking. Fondue is such a great idea for a crowd because it helps get people talking and good conversation started as everyone is gathered round.
Here are some things we dipped in our Velata…
I absolutely LOVE my Velata Warmer and chocolates! It is truly a wonderful product and I know it would be a hit at your next party, too!
Well Guess what?!
