What are the chances that melting down a popular snack food in the microwave would make it any more edible? But this is what the makers of Mini Babybel cheese are asking us to do in a clever — or is it foolish? So our taste panel, entirely composed of jaded adult journalists, might seem rigged to dislike a blob of faux fondue. We’re the sort of people who have eaten real fondue — made with pungent cheese like gruyere as well as kirsch brandy — who’d see right through this bubbling blob of Babybel for the marketing goo that it is. A few of our tasters even agreed that the Bel cheese, while still a far cry from traditional fondue, tastes better melted in a dish than eaten straight from the fridge.
