The first time I came across a Chocolate Fountain was earlier in the year at a friends 50th birthday bash - it was a huge commercial affair that took centre stage on its own table - I was first in the queue with my marshmallow I can tell you.
So we have bought one (on a much smaller scale) to take to Doris' (Dave's mum) for Christmas treats, with lots of dippy things of course. We went to our local deli and bought the suggested Belgian chocolate buttons suitable for the operation - Dave said that we'll need a lot so we purchased a 3kg bag - that's a lot of buttons, I can tell you - and I said that we'd better try it after tea last night just to check it worked OK. We don't want to get it to mum's at Christmas and find that the thing doesn't work, do we??
So I followed the instructions and - WOW - it actually cascaded over the fountain (as it should) and looked pretty impressive. I then proceeded to dip and dip and dip - until I was stuffed with all things sticky & chocolaty - I'd recommend it to anyone.
However, half an hour later I got the most god-damn awful headache (that'll be my glucose intolerance kicking in) and felt so bad I had to go to bed
...But Was It Worth It? - You'd Better Believe It...!
