Chocolate Covered Everything, Please

Divider

Chocolate fountains are a fan favorite. Therefore, you should be equipped with the highest-quality chocolate. Our recommendations:
  • Grand Marque 58% (GM5822). This chocolate is a work horse. It can be used for enrobing, dipping, chocolate writing, and of course, chocolate fountains.
  • Grand Marque’s Chocolate Compounds (GM WCOAT22, GM MCOAT22) are amazing coating chocolates with excellent taste, consistency, and fluidity. They also work tremendously well in chocolate fountains and there is no need to add extra fat.

The Time Saving Superheroes

Your favorite thing to hear: pre-baked. Now that you’ve gained some extra time, use our ready-to-fill shells and tarts for custom creations that are perfectly sized for hor d’ouvres or appetizers.
  • Mini Cream Horns- fill them with pastry cream or whipped cream and call it a day. These babies are pre-baked and covered in sugar, so your work is minimal.
  • Mini éclairs- buttery and flaky heaven. Fill éclair shells with cream or mousse and top them with chocolate and voila: you’ve got dessert.
  • Mini tarts- a crunchy base for your creative thoughts. Fill these tart shells with mousse, ganache, mascarpone, or fresh fruit. Their size makes them easy to fill and serve as a mini collection/assortment.

Feeling Saucy

Dessert Sauces are a must have chef’s ingredient for plating designs, gelato toppings, and adding top notch flavors to your desserts. These sauces don’t run and their colors are vibrant, making them easily visible, easy to use, and delicious to taste.
