Fondue Fountain ---- Need Help First Time User

Read the directions. I've heard that it needs to be runny and not thick. Good luck.

You have the directions, yes? They usually come with several ideas and recipes for use.

I haven't used a fountain - but I have done fondue....chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream...mix well in a sauce pan (believe the fountain does NOT "cook" it for you) and put in the fountain...here's a recipe I found.

I personally would NOT use fudge sauce - it's much thicker than fondue and might not work. Read the directions and check out the website for the brand Nostalgia...they will give you tips and pointers.

I have used chocolate fountains on many occasions for different venues. I do lots of hospitality gigs and parties just for fun. There should be a user's manual with your fountain. If you can't find yours then you can often google your brand and model and find the manual.

I prefer to use the chocolate disks. They can be purchased at Wal Mart and Target...and other places as well. There are directions on the bag. I always add a bit more oil in my chocolate so it continues to filter through easily and is silky smooth.

Happy dipping!!!

(Just a couple helpful hints. Pound cake, cookies,brownies and other crumbly items will clog up the filter more than your more firm items. I like marshmallows, strawberries, maraschino cherries, madeleine cookies...and much more but that is what comes to mine right now)

They can get clogged and very messy/broken even so be careful with just trying anything. I bet the instruction book has recipes in it. They'd be the safest ones for you to try out.
