5.0 out of 5 stars Rival Chocolate Fountain, January 5, 2007

This review is from: Rival CFF5-CHP Chocolate Fountain (Kitchen)

Great product. Great for the holidays. I used candy melting chocolate instead of chocolate chips. I set up a big bowl of ice beside the fountain with a plate covered with wax paper in the middle of it. The kids dipped strawberries, pretzels, animal crackers, ritz bits and marshmallows and put them on the plate to harden. They loved doing this and after the chocolate hardened they used the plate to serve everyone.

The only problem was the cleanup of the fountain. I had to do this job and it was really messy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun for a party, November 20, 2005

I was a bit skeptical of how well this would work, but it was a huge hit at a party. The chocolate flow didn't look at full as in the photo, but nobody cared -- it tasted great, even with the vegetable oil that you have to add (2 cups of oil to 10 cups of chocolate chips). You do have to pre-melt the chips on the stovetop before you pour it into the fountain, but the fountain kept the chocolate melted and flowing for more than 4 hours. Nobody minded the taste of the vegetable oil, nor did anybody notice or ask. A popular topic of discussion during the party was "can this be cleaned?" but the cleanup was much easier than we expected. Sure you get chocolate on your hands when you disassemble it (yum!) but the parts hand washed easily in the sink (and they're dishwasher safe). Will we use this fountain every day? Of course not, it's for large parties and holidays. But, for $50, it compares well to renting a larger fountain that you'd only use once. I can recommend this. The only reason I give it 4 stars was that the chocolate flow was not as pictured. The manual says if the flow doesn't look like the box "add more chocolate or more oil". That sort of trial and error isn't very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars For what it's worth!!!, October 30, 2005

For what it's worth, it's a great product. As far as being disappointed by putting "oil in your chocolate", it's not the machine, IT'S THE CHOCOLATE, I'm in the process of buying and researching Choc. Fntns. you need to buy high end "baking" choc, with a higher cocoa content the darker the better, The chocolate makes the machine, not the other way around, If you buy one for $2000, and use grocery store choc. chips, you need to add oil to make it flow, buy Guittard's. Sephra, or Belgium. Bottom line, do your homework.
