4.0 out of 5 stars Makes any occasion an EVENT, February 6, 2007

By	P. Richhart "scrappin" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The instructions say that this chocolate fondue fountain makes any occasion an event. And why not? It's flowing chocolate! This fountain is very easy to use. For my first experience with it, we used plain old Hershey bars. The chocolate must be melted and thinned with vegetable oil before it goes into the fountain which I did easily in the microwave. Since just our immediate family was going to be eating it on this occasion, I was trying to use the least amount of chocolate possible. I found that I needed to used 1 1/4 pounds to get the nice waterfall effect in which the chocolate cascaded in a sheet down the sides like the picture on the box. Any lesser amount and the chocolate would still flow, but it merely drizzled over the sides and wasn't as nice looking. It was very fun to use and my children now ask almost every night if we are going to "do chocolate."

The second time I used this was for a party. I found a good deal on some Ghirardelli candy making bars and used these. I used around 3 pounds which seemed to be close to the maximum that the fountain would hold. Since this was not regular chocolate, the consistancy was not correct for the fountain even with the added vegetable oil. The chocolate flowed but just drizzled over the sides even though I was using a sufficient quantity. I was disapointed, but my guests still loved it. Next time I will use normal chocolate. Perhaps I will try chocolate chips which is one of the options listed in the instructions.

This exact same chocolate fountain sells in Target for $49.00 and to be honest, I don't think that it is worth that. I purchased it clearanced through Amazon for $12.49 plus shipping which was a GREAT deal. Overall, I am definitely glad I made this purchase.

We used this for our foundue parties on Christmas and New Years!! It is so wonderful and you don't have to worry about the pot getting to hot or stirring the chocolate. I was afraid clean up would be difficult but it is a BREEZE!! I used a high grade of gourmet chocolate and my guests gushed all night at how wonderful it was!! The instructions walk you through everything and it works like a charm!! I can't wait to use this for my kids Valentines party at school!! What fun!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fountain is GREAT for ENTERTAINING!!, February 20, 2007

By	Bargain Queen (Perth Amboy, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

GREAT FOUNTAIN...GREAT PRICE!!!! The first Rival fountain I purchased was the CFF5, which is the 2-5 lb capacity and that was great. But this one is even better for a smaller crowd! My family and friends often come over for dinner parties and we use this every time. I used both the bakers chocolate sold in supermarkets and chocolate from a chocolatier and they both have the same flow on the fountain. Not sure what the other reviewers were stating about the chocolate not flowing but if you use the amount of vegetable oil instructed for the different qualities of chocolate everything will work perfectly!!!
