Marshmallows
Marshmallows are a classic side dish to serve with a chocolate fountain. They have a similar texture to caramel apples, and they can be roasted first or dipped directly.
To make marshmallows at home, you will need sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, water, and vanilla extract. First, mix the sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture boils. Then, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Next, pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch pan and let it set for at least 4 hours. Finally, cut the marshmallows into squares and enjoy!
Fudge
Fudge is a delicious side dish that pairs well with a chocolate fountain. The rich, creamy texture of the fudge compliments the smooth, flowing chocolate, and the sweetness of the fudge helps to offset the bitterness of the chocolate. In addition, fudge is packed with nutrients and antioxidants that can help to boost your health.
Fudge is also relatively easy to make at home and only requires a few simple ingredients!
To make fudge, simply melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add sugar and cream, and stir until combined. Then, pour the mixture into a lined baking dish and allow it to cool and set.
Once set, cut the fudge into small pieces!
