Nostalgia Electrics offers many different Fondue Fountains. These Fondue Fountains have a beautiful effect of flowing chocolate or other sauces that will add mouthwatering fun to any occasion. Your friends and family will enjoy the fun of the Fondue Fountain and it will be the hit of the party. It’s great for Weddings, Birthdays, Graduation Parties, Business Gatherings, and Holiday Parties!

You can use a variety of foods, chocolates or sauces with your Fondue Fountain to create the flavor you desire. Depending on what you choose you can use Milk Chocolate, Dark Semi Sweet Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Butterscotch.

The Chocolate Fondue Fountain will work with almost any chocolate. However, the best chocolate to use is pure Belgian Chocolate because it is high in cocoa butter that is formulated for Chocolate Fondue Fountains. Belgian Chocolate requires no oil to function and is rich and decadent. When using other chocolates be sure to remember that chips are low in cocoa butter and that they will need oil to make it flow correctly. Recommended oils are Canola Oil and Vegetable Oil.

To begin using the Fondue Fountain you will first need to find a flat level surface near an electrical outlet. If the surface is not flat it will not flow & cascade correctly. Pour melted chocolate & oil into the bowl at the base of the unit and then turn the motor to the ON position. Let the unit flow for 2 minutes. Then turn the motor OFF for 30 seconds, to eliminate any air gap possibly causing the chocolate not to flow well. Then turn the motor back ON. If the flow is not good, add 1/8” of a cup of oil to thin the chocolate slightly.  

You can use CHEESE!! And dip grapes, apples, breads, shrimp, crackers, pretzels, and more! In order to use cheese, you just need to prepare the cheese as you would for a regular fondue pot by diluting with white wine and cream to keep it liquid, enabling it to flow through the tower.

Bar-B-Q Sauces work well too! Use your favorite Sauce and have prepared chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes to dip. Keep in mind though that the consistency needs to be thin. Use wine, liquor or other liquids to dilute the sauce.

Advanced Fondue Fountain User Tricks:

Enchance your presentation with “Flavored Chocolates.” Prior to mixing the liquor with the chocolate, you can burn off the liquor, if you choose, by cooking it on the stove top. Bring to a boil in a pot on the stove and the alcohol will burn off. Mix this with your choice of chocolate before adding it to the Fondue Fountain. Simply add 1/4 cup of liquor additive to chocolate mix.

Desired Flavor:
Orange Chocolate – Use Gran Marnier
Chocolate Hazelnut – Use Frangelico
Coffee Chocolate - Use Kahlua
Mint Chocolate – Use Crème de Menthe
Chocolate Macaroon – Use Coconut mix
Chocolate Liqueur – Use Godiva Liqueur

Troubleshooting:

Chocolate is dripping, not flowing.
  • Chocolate is too thick, thin it with vegetable oil. Unit could also be not level.
Chocolate is flowing unevenly, but not sheeting properly.
  • Unit is not level, level unit so that chocolate is evenly distributed around the tower to ensure proper sheeting.
Flow is intermittent, interrupted, not flowing properly.
  • Check for chunks of food in base that may be clogging the chocolate flow to base of tower, remove any chunks or obstructions found.

Important Precautions to Remember:

  • Never add hard chips to a fountain while the motor is running.
  • Never immerse motor base in water.
  • Never use near a water source.
  • Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth on unit.
  • Do not place motor base in dishwasher.
