Chocolate fountains are not only fun to look at, but they are also delicious! Now that temperatures are dropping, many people are feeling the need to satisfy their sugar cravings. If you are planning on setting up a chocolate fountain, remember to pair all the right foods for dipping.
\nFirstly, remember that there are different types of chocolate and they do not all melt the same. Make sure that you buy chocolate suitable for chocolate fountains so that you and your guests will enjoy the smoothest and most delicious sweet treat.
\nIf you want some sweets to dip, you can set out trays that include such delicious items as marshmallows, rice crispy treats, mini cream puffs, mini chocolate eclaires, macaroons, breakfast bars, biscotti, peanut brittle, and sponge cake.
\nIf you would like something bit healthier, you could also set out one or more trays of fruit. Not all fruits are suitable for chocolate dipping. Some great options to pair with chocolate include strawberries, pineapple, bananas, cherries, pears, and seedless grapes. You could also serve orange segments, apples, and other berries like raspberries and blueberries.
\nVarious types of breads can also be served with a chocolate fountain. Examples include cinnamon rolls, carrot cake, and banana bread. These can be dipped if they are chopped into smaller chunks. Alternatively, your guests can eat the breads on the side.
\nSome other options include dried fruit like apricots, figs, raisins, and cranberries. You could even serve frozen fruit like strawberries and bananas. Make sure you cut them before you freeze them and only remove portions from your freezer as needed. Once they thaw, they should not be refrozen.
\nFinally, don’t forget biscuits! You can serve just about any biscuit with your chocolate fountain. Mint and oatmeal raisin are two favourites. Crunchie biscuits are best. Most people do not enjoy hard or chewy biscuits when at an event since they are tough to eat.
\nRemember, you should also offer a savoury tray of snacks or bowls with items like crisps and pretzels. Many people crave salt after enjoying a lot of sweet foods. Your beverages should also be selected based on the type of chocolate and foods you plan on serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
