Griffin Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 On Friday my girls are having a little Christmas party after school for approximately 12 friends. As a surprise, amongst all the nibbles, will be a newly purchased chocolate fountain. Other than strawberries and marshmallows, what else can they use for poking in it? Also, what chocolate is recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've never had the chance to play with a chocolate fountain (very sheltered life ) but I would think any fruit would be lovely, cut into pieces (or grapes spring to mind), or fudge, or mini donuts? Can I come with Chick Wiggle too, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Thank you! I've only ever had the pleasure once at a Chinese allyoucanstuffyerfacewith buffet but I couldn't remember what I actually had with it but the mini doughnuts rings bells. You are all welcome. The guest list seems to be rising as each say "oh but so and so really needs to be there" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 oooh, me too please I love dunking orange segments in (satsuma or Clementine size) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 We have just bought a small chocolate fountain that came with a couple of Baileys minatures. It says in the instructions to mix 200g of melted chocolate with 200ml of double cream then add the Baileys, this sounds very indulgent do you have to dilute the chocolate in normal chocolate fountains? I love all of the ideas for things to dunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Oh dear I wish I hadn't read this thread. I'm dribbling all over the keyboard. I would have said pineapple - but yes, biscuits are a good idea - lots of good ideas there although the twiglets . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
