I consider the following two recipes to be the best fondue desserts ever.
I’m from Quebec, where maple syrup is something you start eating from a very young age.
Be advised that they are both very sweet, but very delicious.
The second recipe contains nuts.
It’s a very good idea to ensure none of your guests are allergic to nuts (or anything else) before planning your fondue party.

- Bread pieces
