Using Different Chocolates In Your Fountain - Giles & Posner CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN User Manual

Using different chocolates in your Fountain

Virtually any quality chocolate will work well but for perfect results first time and every time,
you're recommended to use a specially blended fondue chocolate, such as the ones created
by Giles & Posner. You'll find more about these plus details of how to order on page 8 or at
the Giles & Posner Website at: www.gilesandposner.com
To get the best cascading effects, the secret is a chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa
solids. Dark chocolate usually has a higher percentage than milk. Other cheaper chocolates
can work with the addition of vegetable oil but the oil can obviously affect the taste and
the texture.
