Stay In For Chocolate Fountain Night

A great idea for Valentine's day that won't blow your budget is to make a Chocolate Fountain Night. A chocolate fountain is basically a three-dimensional chocolate fondue. For a Chocolate Fountain Night you'll need a chocolate fountain, high quality chocolate and fruit.

You'll need to buy the following things:

A Chocolate Fountain - Home Chocolate Fountains range in size up to about 19" tall. They are primarily made of plastic and may have some stainless steel components (although all-stainless models do exist) and are usually dishwasher safe. Home chocolate fountains normally hold 6 or less pounds of chocolate.

Chocolate - It is imperative that you buy Couverture Chocolate to get the correct flow of the chocolate. Most chocolate fountains will come with a pack of the specialty chocolate or the chocolate shop will recommend the correct chocolate for your fountain.

Recommended Chocolatiers: zChocolat or Chocolate Trading Company

Fruit - The fruit you want to create an assortment of fruit cut into approximately 2-3 cm cubes. Some good fruit to consider is Strawberries, Banana's, Kiwi's and Oranges.

Now you simply cut up the fruit the day before and follow the instructions on the chocolate fountain to make your chocolate flow!
