Dig out the electric fondue pots that you got as wedding presents and put them to use.
I've been making these dips for years for parties. People love them. I know the Creamy Parmesan one doesn't sound like much, but you and your guests will be VERY surprised at how delicious it is.
CREAMY PARMESAN FONDUE
1 1/2 cups milk
2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese

1 8 oz. wedge of Parmesan cheese, grated
Cube cream cheese into blender, add garlic and milk. Blend till smooth. Pour into a non-stick pan. On medium heat, add grated Parmesan and stir continuously till cheese is melted.
