Scarlett's Crock Pot Cheese (And Prawn) Fondue 2 Die 4!

Sc4r1ett's Note:

Ideal for long hot summer days when you don't feel like cooking and of course the beauty of using a slow cooker (crock pot) is that it doesn't heat the kitchen! The prawns are optional for vegetarian but if you eat fish please add them! This is sooo fantastic! Serve with crusty bread or crudites or pretzels! YUM!

The cheese didn't really melt that well. But, the combination of ingredients tasted good.
