Melt Chocolate For A Chocolate Fountain

mmm, chocolate covered berry








Using the right chocolate and melting it the right way is the key to running a successful chocolate fountain.








Instructions


1. Chocolate fountains are a really fun dessert item to have at any party. Perfect for wedding and baby showers, birthdays...any event. Make it a success by using the right kind of chocolate and melting it the right way. The best kind of chocolate to use is one made for a chocolate fondue fountain. Sephra has the best chocolate that is specially formulated for chocolate fountains. If you try to use other chocolate, like chocolate chips, you will have to add oil...yuck.


2. They sell the chocolate in individually packaged 1 pound packages. Sephra is the leader in chocolate fountains and they sell a superior chocolate. Go to Sephra dot com and click on chocolates to find amazing chocolate fountain chocolate. This is how you melt the chocolate from Sephra....put the bag, unopened, in the microwave. Turn the timer on 2 minutes and the power on HALF POWER. This is very important because if you microwave it on high power it will burn the chocolate and it will be useless. After each 2 minute session massage or shake the bag and repeat till all the chocolate is melted.


3. Cut a corner of the bag and pour it into your chocolate fountain. Make sure your fountain is turned on and warmed up. Just turn on the heat selector, not the motor...yet. A special tip: Do not add any liquid to your chocolate or it will "seize the chocolate....this means it will get a grainy consistency and, again, your chocolate will be useless.


4. If you want to flavor your chocolate use an oil based flavoring that is used for candy. Start out with just a few drops and add more to desired taste. Enjoy!!
