Fondue isn't just about cheese anymore. Chocolate fountains are a huge hit for any type of party. Choose chocolate for your fountain that has both a pleasing taste and texture for you and your guests. Set a budget for fountain chocolate to help decide which kind of chocolate to purchase. Higher end chocolates are easier to melt and clean up.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Choose a lower quality chocolate when cost is an issue. Add larger amounts of oil when using chocolates that are made with less than 40 percent cocoa. Use chocolate chips made by Nestle, Hershey's or a store brand when trying to cut cost.

2. Go with a higher quality chocolate chip such as Ghiradelli when you are cutting costs but not skimping of flavor. Use less oil with chocolate that have more than 40 percent cocoa. Find high end chocolates at specialty grocery stores and some warehouse clubs such as Costco.

3. Choose chocolate flavored candy coating for a smooth melting and tasty chocolate. Do not add any oil to candy coatings. Purchase candy coatings at craft supply stores or specialty candy and baking shops.

4. Splurge on couverture chocolate when money is not an issue, but taste is. Use couverture chocolate for a smooth melt that is not oily or greasy. Purchase couverture chocolates from online specialty shops and from companies that specialize in chocolate fountains.
