If you’re looking to have a great party that people talk about for weeks, then I’ve got one word for you, chocolate. People of all shapes and sizes love chocolate. And the best way to serve chocolate at a party is a chocolate fondue fountain.
Serving chocolate fondue is a regular fondue pot is great for a cozy treat for a few close friends but it doesn’t cut it at larger events. That’s why the chocolate fondue fountains have become popular. The chocolate keeps flowing and people keep dunking their favorite snacks into it. Fruits like bananas, apples and strawberries usually go first. Then before you know it, everything is being coated with chocolate. Cakes, potato chips, pretzels, you name it and people will let the chocolate cover it.
Lately, chocolate fountains are being set up more and more at smaller gatherings in people’s homes. You can buy a nice home version of a chocolate fountain now at a reasonable price. Wouldn’t that just make your next barbecue that much more memorable?
Here’s how a chocolate fountain works. You have to melt the chocolate before adding it to the fountain. Most home fountains have a heating element built in but they’re only hot enough to keep the chocolate flowing. The microwave or a double boiler is the melting method that most fountains manuals recommend. Vegetable oil is usually added to the chocolate so that it can run through the fountain.
You can use couverture chocolate which is made with more cocoa butter than regular chocolate in your chocolate fondue fountain. You won’t have to add any vegetable oil it because all that cocoa butter makes it perfect to be pumped through a fountain. Any chocolate can be used but be sure you don’t jam your fountain by making it too thick.
The easiest way to get ready for a chocolate fondue fountain is to buy a fruit platter. Either that or be sure to cut up all of your dunking ingredients before the party. Remember bite sized pieces will be the easiest for your guests to eat. Have some marshmallows or Angel Food Cake available and don’t forget the salty treats too.
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 is a great way to jazz up any party. Now you can even use them at smaller house parties. Once you’ve seen one in action, you’ll be running to the store to get a chocolate fondue fountain for your next party.
