This recipe was a cinch to make and awesome to boot! I halved the recipe, and followed as directed. I especially liked the hint of kirsch; I could taste it as an undertone, but, really puts it over the top! I served with crusty bread and granny smith slices for dipping. Thanks for sharing a great fondue, Lainey! I'll be making it again.
