We have are having guests over next weekend and will be making a cheese fondue....the recipe states to serve with bread cubes...we are also going to do apple or pear slices. Can anyone think of anything else you would use for dipping?

If it's cheese you can blanche some veggies...i.e. broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus. Are you doing a chocolate one too?
