I have two size crock pots and the small one is good for cooking foods such as fondues and dips and even making gifts like chutneys and spiced nuts.  You can even make hot drinks such as cider in your crock pot.  Here is a recipe which I think you will enjoy for your Christmas cooking.

Crock Pot Fondues are easy desserts to make and although it's not really cooking but  is heating, melting  and keeping the mixture hot.  Use a small crock pot or crock pot little dipper.

chocolateChocolate Fondue

2 cups  semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 tabs caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tabs Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua (optional)

Mix together, cover the crock pot and cook on low for 1 hour.  Keep warm. Use marshmallows, fruit chunks and berries or sponge cake to dip.

See Christmas cooking doesnt have to be difficult!
