Chocolate for chocolate fountain

Cat72

I have just got a cheap one of these for a small party I am having (17 people ). Never used one before where can I buy some chocolate for it at a good price- I have read not to use Carburys on here but dont have a clue where to get fondue suitable chocolate at an ok price, especaily as at the moment it is a one off.
Thanks.

I believe that it should be a high percentage of cocoa solids for a fondue?

If this is the case, then Lidl/Aldi etc are probably your cheapest bet - their Continental chocolate is much cheaper than similar brands in supermarkets.

I have used Sainsbury's cheap range (can't remember its name) and it has worked really well.

Prezzybox do special fountain Belgian choc. There are lots of £5 off vouchers around for them too.

We never did get our fountain to work well - lots of different sorts of choc. Previous postings have said the ASDA 25p bars are as good as anything.

I find the best bet is tesco value chocolate and a little veg oil to let the choc down a bit so it flows better.
