Fondue frosting is great for groups with a sweet tooth.

For those with a sweet tooth, fondue frosting is a great alternative to traditional fondue, and is just as simple to make, even for those who consider themselves beginners in the kitchen.

Replace orange juice with milk or water so that the fondue has a neutral flavor and color. Food coloring of your choice can be added to the fondue.
Dip mini cupcakes into the fondue and add sprinkles for a festive dessert.
Too much food coloring will alter the taste of the fondue, so use the coloring sparingly.
