Chocolate fountain - intresting ideas to dip with?

[babygrosandgros]

Thinking of having one christmas night at our party. Thought the children would like it as well.

Have decided on marshmellows, grapes, bananas.

Has anyone got any other ideas?

strawberries, pineapples

pineapple pieces obviously.....the stalk gets in the way!

shortbread is lovely

Sweet waffles cut up into smaller pieces

Fudge

We've made flapjack and chocolate brownies for ours before

Can I have the recipe for chocolate brownies Helsbels? Did you make them on the day? Can they be stored in an airtight tin if made the day before?

Spooky - did you buy or make your waffles?

Don't

a. Are naff
b. Give you arse of carthorse

bits of fudge bread sticks and pieces of madeira cake

I am going to do to

A. Its one day, christmas day at that - you are meant to be unhealthy on christmas day, its the law

B. Even if it is naff it will be fun

Cremolafoam - what are posh marshmallows?

Honeycomb mmmmm!

Babygros I had them as dessert in a restaurant
If I could, I would buy them but I am idle like that LOL

mini doughnuts, profiteroles, fudge, fruit, marshmallows,

sorry my first thought is too filthy to mention

Great ideas dh loved the idea of mini doughnuts.

They are 70s swinger items. We were given one and are too embarrassed to use it.

Vicar of Dibley had right idea - sod dainty dunking things, just open your mouth and go in

minidonuts,

I love pretzels in choclate but they would be too fiddly for a shared fountain ok for a mini home one.

has nobody suggested strawberries?

at being embarrassed in front of close friends and family. And I wasnt alive in the seventies so no bad swinger memories for me.

Cluckyagain suggested strawberries skramble - in the very first post

I was a child in the 70s, thanks! I still think they're embarrassing...

I find it hard to be embarrassed by chocolate .. its much too delish

Outlaws gave us one as a present last year, has stayed in cupboard ever since. Apparently the thing needs lots of large chocolate bars and about 2 pints of vegetable oil, yuck.

Can't see us ever using it at all, maybe I should sell it?

Ours doesnt need Vegtable oil.

Not sure about how much chocolate, dh sorts that out.

Have sadly checked ours, 650mls veg oil might have known that outlaws would have bought an xmas present they knew would never be used
