Chocolate Fountain Recipes

What child would not have wanted to be part of Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory? Imagine a world where no spinach, broccoli, and carrots would abound? Only mounds and endless streams of smooth, creamy chocolate wherever and whenever we wanted in this world of cocoa splendor. Now while the average adult would almost gag at the previously described explosion of chocolate, most of us have a little bit of “chocolate lover”  in all of us.

To this end, chocolate fountain recipes are a big hit. If you have ever taken a voyage on a cruise ship, then you know about the renowned, midnight buffet, chocolate fountain. It is a fountain of this type that is surrounded by delectable dippers. Chunks of fresh pineapple, wedges of crisp, cool apples, and light fluffy marshmallows are all waiting to be submerged in this chocolate stream.

But what about those of us who will not set sail on a cruise ship, but may only cruise as they’re on the way to the bus, work, or picking up a child from daycare?  Take heart, the chocolate fountain recipes are in abundance and just yours for the picking!  When selecting a chocolate fountain recipe, make certain to decide on the type of chocolate that you want to use. White chocolate, bitter chocolate and milk chocolate may react differently when placed in the fiery heat and then poured into the cool fountain. Also consider what you want to dip into the chocolate. There are types of chocolate fountain recipes that no doubt are better suit for fruit, nuts, or even candy.

If you are one who has children, by all means consider a chocolate fountain recipe that is “kid-friendly.”  It is likely that the little tykes may want to take on the traits of Emeril or Julia Childs. With the abundance of these “how-to-guides,”  even children as young as five years old may be able to participate and make their “sweet” dreams come true.
