- Shortbread cookies

Pro Tip: Balance Sweetness
Choose items that can balance the sweetness of white chocolate. Salty or slightly tart work surprisingly well.
Preparing Your Dipping Items
- Wash and dry fruits
- Air fry waffles for extra crispness
- Cut items into skewer-friendly sizes

Melting the Chocolate
Using Chocolate Melts

- Microwave or use a double broiler – with a double broiler you have more control

Tips for Hosting a Chocolate Fountain Party

- Practice before the actual event
- Have realistic expectations
- Enjoy the process!
