I'm having a chocolate fountain for my grad and was wondering how far in advance I can make the chocolate. Because there is a banquet that starts at 4:30 and then we go to the ceremony, so we won't be home til nine. So i was hoping to prepare the chocolate in the afternoon.

>>How far in advance can I prepare chocolate for a chocolate fountain?

    Depends on the prep tools, single stage or dual stage.   Running melted chocolate into a single stage with it's higher RPM will make a light and fluffy foundation.  The slower fan speeds of the dual stage will produce a heaver founation which many prefer.   For lighter milky chocolate I stick with the dual stage.   For dark chocolate which is usually thicker the single stage as it makes the foundation easier to shape and mold for decoration.  For scraping the output off the side of the garage I use a flexible rubber spatula as my garage has shingles.   For a vinal sided garage I'd use a stiffer plastic spatula and make long runs along the length of the siding into a bowl.  The setup time for both is about 3 hours.  Cleanup is no problem.  Just leave the machine outside and the neighborhood animals will come by and clean up.

I recommend outsourcing the task to the neighbor's kids.  He's been saving all year long for the latest Wii game console.  That will help with the obesity since he will have to work hard to earn it. 

Dora and Diego videos will only go so far to gets the kids moving while parked in front of the TV.  When they get older, they should really do some real work!

Shingles can be very painful, my uncle had shingles once and I wouldn't want to put my garage through that.

I thought this person was taking about dog's chocolate.  A great way to launch and spread some gifts to your neighbors and fertilize their lawns at the same. I just wonder how well these chocolates will come out.  Borat, where is the video?
