a chocolate fondue fountain and different types of food dips for an interesting
centre-piece for your party
A chocolate fondue fountain - the ultimate monument to
a chocaholic?
Do you want a attract a crowd of
people at a party? You don't have to tell the best stories or tell the funniest
jokes. All you need to do is stand near the chocolate fountain. Adding a
chocolate fountain will liven up even the dullest parties. Most people love
chocolate and what better way to serve chocolate than have it flowing out of
fountain. A chocolate fondue fountain is a great addition to any party.
Chocolate fondue is a great dessert to serve at small gathering but quite
difficult to serve at larger parties. Now with chocolate fondue fountains, your
guests can still experience the taste of chocolate covered strawberries,
bananas, pineapple, pound cake or anything else they want to dunk into the
delightful chocolate waterfall that flows out of the fountain. You may have
enjoyed a chocolate fountain at the last wedding or graduation party that you've
attended.
And now chocolate fountains are becoming popular home appliances. Several
companies make home versions and although the quality of these machines varies
greatly, chocolate fondue fountains can now be enjoyed at your backyard
gatherings or anytime you like.
Most of these chocolate fondue fountains work the same way. First you melt
chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Then you add vegetable oil to
the chocolate so that it is fluid enough to be pumped through the fountain. The
home appliance have small heating units that will keep melted chocolate flowing,
but they aren't hot enough for the initial melting of the chocolate.
Chocolate chips are the easiest form of chocolate to melt and use in your fondue
fountain. But using a premium chocolate will make it taste even better. And for
adult parties, add a splash of Grand Marnier or a fruit flavored brandy such as
blackberry brandy.
If you don't have a lot of time before your party to cut up fruits and cakes for
dunking, why not buy a fruit platter. Salty foods will also be a hit in the
chocolate fountain. Be sure to put out pretzels and potato chips. People may be
hesitant to try them at first but once they do, they'll be hooked. Marshmallows
and angel food cake are also popular. You really have a lot of options when it
comes to foods to dunk in your chocolate fondue fountain. Just about anything
tastes great when dunked in chocolate.
Cleanup is a breeze if your fountain is dishwasher safe but be sure to keep it
running until you're ready to clean it. Letting the chocolate cool and get hard
will turn cleaning your fountain into a major chore.
A chocolate fondue fountain has always been a memorable item to have at a
wedding or large party but home versions are also gaining in popularity. Once
you've seen the attention it draws, you may even add a chocolate fountain to
your next party.
