50-100 guests: 12 lbs of chocolate

Chocolate fountain recipe

What type of chocolate you serve is completely your preference.

You can serve dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate in your fountain.

(A combination of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips is delicious!)

For best results, oil will need to be added to ensure a smooth, even flow of liquid, dripping chocolate.

Estimate ½ cup of vegetable oil for every 5 lbs of chocolate.

Combine the oil and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 3 minutes.

Halfway through, stir the mixture.

After 3 minutes, stir again. If not fully melted, heat in 20 second increments until chunks are smoothed.

Note: You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop.
