Combine Wine, Whiskey, And Cheese For This Scrumptious Irish Cheddar Fondue

If you’ve ever had cheese fondue, you know how delicious it is. The first time I had it, I swear it was completely life-changing.

I’m a huge fan of cheese in general, but there’s nothing better than melted cheese, especially when you can dip anything you want into it.

When it comes to making fondue, there are two camps of people: people who think that much deliciousness must be impossible to make, and people who think all you have to do is microwave some cheese.

The actual answer is somewhere in between fondue definitely isn’t just melted cheese, but it is actually really easy to make. For this incredible recipe, you only need a few simple ingredients!

This recipe is here just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, which is perfect because this is a great party snack or dinner appetizer. All you need is some Irish cheddar cheese, some white wine, and some Irish whiskey, and your St. Patty’s day food will be to die for.
