It seems that when the holidays roll around there is a plethora of family dinners, potlucks, parties and social gatherings which often revolve around food! Ever wonder what you should make? I was given the challenge of shopping at Dollar General to create a family meal for under $20. Since it is the holidays, I wanted to create a meal that is fun to eat and recipes that could be used at many different holiday gatherings. So, served my family a fondue dinner and dessert that included pizza fondue for the meal and Nutella fondue for dessert.
I purchased all of these ingredients from Dollar General for $19.65, to use for my recipes I bought a Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix, Chef Boyardee pizza maker kit that includes pizza crust dough, pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese, Farm Rich cheese sticks, Armour pepperoni, Velveeta queso blanco cheese, Nutella, shortbread cookies and Land ‘O Lakes heavy whipping cream.
Zack was the only one home when I started cooking and he asked if he could help me. That doesn’t happen very often and I was happy to have his help! Instead of making pizza crust, we used the dough to make breadsticks.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
While the breadsticks were raising, we make chocolate chip cookie dough dippers.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Next, I put the Nutella Fondue in my Little Dipper so that it could warm up.
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Once the breadsticks were out of the oven, I put the mozzarella cheese sticks in to cook and started on the Pizza Fondue.
Total Time: 20 minutes
This Pizza Fondue was delicious! While we were dipping the breadsticks and mozzarella cheese sticks in it, we were thinking of all kinds of other things that would be good to dip in it like noodles and chips.
The Nutella Fondue was outstanding!! We dipped the cookie dough balls and shortbread cookies in it. Other items like strawberries, pretzels and marshmallows would be delicious as well!
