What Keeps a Chocolate Fountain Flowing?!
Tell me what you have to put in, how much chocolate, water, sugar, and other things!?
What keeps it smooth, and flowing like water!? Does the chocolate every run out!? Do you have to refill it!?
Is it hygenic meaning if someone sticks in their half-eaten strawberry in it, could it cause germs!?!?!?!?
Did you have one for your special occasion!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ah, chocolate fountains!. I bought one for a friend as a wedding present and set it up for the event!. You can usually rent the large silver ones from a party rental company and they'll either supply the mix for it or reccommend a caterer, however, I looked into it and the easiest way to make that chocolate flow is to combine 2 parts chocolate chips (whatever kind you like) to 1 part vegetable oil or shortening and melt together!. You can do this in a pan although some fountains heat it on thier own!. It sounds weird and gross but people will never know (they didn't at my friends wedding) The chocolate will run out if you don't fill it!. Dont add water or sugar or anything else to the chocolate it will make it look wierd and taste funny!. Yes it can spread germs if people are sticking things that are half eaten into it, but so can dips, spreads, entrees that people use thier personal utensils on, any social gathering runs the risk of germs!. On a scale of one to ten though I'd say chocolate is a low risk item!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
For best results and flavor, use a courveture type chocolate!. It is a high quality chocolate, which has a high cocoa butter content!. You won't have to compromise the flavor by adding oil to it, as you would with the chocolate chips, which usually have little to no cocoa butter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
