Useful Suggestions to Using Chocolate Fountains

By Belinda Norbert


Chocolate fountains adorned with rich and creamy cookies, great tasting fresh fruits and rich chocolate seem so enticing. This fountain is typically the focal point of Christmascelebrations, children's birthday parties and other family social events.

You need a fondue and the correct variety of chocolates.

Your initial step is to melt the chocolate using a double broiler or microwave. Some other people prefer to place a large block of chocolate in the container with the aim of liquefying the goodies. It is advised to use chocolate made especially for fountains which has a lot more cocoa butter.

Another choice is to purchase a liquid additive such as vegetable oil which you can utilize for more effective thawing. You can dissolve light, dark, tasting or semi-sweet chocolates without altering the flavor.

Check out the components meticulously to ensure that movement of chocolate remains constant at all times. The tiers should be balanced and the table strong enough to keep everything in place. Go over once again before you put the chocolate into the container. Make sure that the plug is near an electric wall socket. Avoid plugging if you have not completed installing everything.

Turn the power on. The fountain maintains a temperature of 180 degrees to make sure that the chocolate is dissolved. The fountain pulls the chocolate towards the center and upward. That is the time when the guests can start dipping the pretzels, fruits, and other goodies in the lip-smacking chocolate cream. Heat the chocolate for 45 seconds and stir. Continue to warm up in intervals of 20 seconds until it is completely melted.

The normal products are cookies and fresh strawberries but you can opt for other desserts as well. You can buy some sweets, cake fillings and other finger foods that will taste more succulent when dipped in chocolate.

You have to purchase napkins and fondue forks that guests can use since this can be sloppy. There are catering providers and companies which provide chocolate fountains on a leasing basis. Try to find multiple providers and ask for estimates so you can get the best price.
