Copycat Ultimate Fondue
Do you remember Red Lobster’s Ultimate Fondue? I do! A little more than 10 years ago they removed it from their appetizer menu. But it was my absolute favorite item on the whole menu. I enjoyed it so much that my husband found a recipe and started making it for very special occasions. Over the…
