Chocolate fountain


Desiderio

Recommended Posts

Someone is having a party on New year's eve and asked me if I knew how to prevent the chocolate in the fountain to get thick with the cold .The only thing I can think is adding more cocoa butter to his chocolate or using one of those chocolates made specifically for fountains .Any other ideas ?

Another question was adding alchol to the chocolate and I thought that wasnt a good idea because it would thicken the chocolate etc etc.Is that possible ?In any form?

Thank you again in advance :biggrin:

You are supposed to add oil or cocoa butter to thin out the chocolate anyway. Once you get to the consistency you want, the fountain I have actually keeps the chocolate warm so you don't have to worry about it getting cold. Check and see if that particular model has a heating element.
