Helpful Points to Using Chocolate Fountains

By Belinda Norbert


Chocolate fountains garnished with rich and creamy cookies, great tasting fresh fruits and rich chocolate look so tempting. This fountain is usually the focal point of Christmasfestivities, children's birthday occasions and other household social events.

It is a high-end equipment made up of a top bowl, central support system for the dish and small platform. You achieve the fountain effect by placing melted chocolate which is powered towards the top and made to brim over. The chocolate that goes down is sent towards the top all over again like to the operations of the regular water fountain. You need a fondue and the appropriate variety of chocolates.

Your first step is to melt the chocolate using a double broiler or microwave. Some other people prefer to put a big block of chocolate in the basin for the purpose of liquefying the goodies. It is advisable to use chocolate made specifically for fountains which has more cocoa butter.

Another option is to purchase a liquid ingredient like vegetable oil which you can utilize for better thawing. You can soften light, dark, flavored or semi-sweet chocolates without altering the taste.

Check out the parts carefully to make sure that flow of chocolate remains consistent at all times. The layers should be balanced and the table strong enough to hold everything in place. Examine once again before you pour the chocolate into the container. Make sure that the plug is near an electric outlet. Refrain from plugging if you have not finished installing everything.

Turn the power on. The fountain retains a temperature of 180 degrees to make sure that the chocolate is blended. The fountain pulls the chocolate to the center and upward. That is the time when the party guests can start dipping the salty snacks, fruits, and other goodies in the lip-smacking chocolate cream. Heat the chocolate for 45 seconds and stir. Continue to heat in intervals of 20 seconds until it is totally melted.

The normal products are cookies and fresh strawberries but you can go 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 need to buy napkins and fondue forks that visitors can use because this can be untidy. There are catering firms and companies which offer chocolate fountains on a local rental basis. Look for several providers and request for estimates so you can get the very best price.
