Chocolate Fountain

Ty is invited to a birthday party this coming weekend. In lieu of a cake they are having a chocolate fountain to dip fruit and marshmallows. I checked out the chocolate the mom said she was going to use, and Ty can't have it (there's a may contain disclaimer AND it's from a bulk bin).

What kind of chocolate can be used? Could I provide her with Hershey's Chipits chocolate chips? Would they work?

Thanks in advance.

Here is an awesome fondue recipe that is SUPER easy to make. I make mine in the microwave. You could just send this with him and let him dip the fruit and marshmellow into it. It is HEAVEN!!

Do you get the idea that I'm a chocoholic? :lol: Yummmmmmmmm

It is SO good.........spoonworthy (eating it directly with a spoon, no dippers needed). It also makes a great icecream topping. Now I am craving it.....lol

Just curious how the birthday party went. What did you end up doing to handle the fountain? Find any gluten-free chocolate for it?

I got the mom Hershey milk chocolate chips and she mixed that with a bit of canola (I think) to get it to flow. I provided them with gluten-free animal crackers and pretzels and they provided fruit. Then when it was time for cake, she used a ladle or big spoon to take out chocolate and pour it over the cake with candles so there wouldn't be any cake crumbs in the fountain. Obviously, Ty didn't have any cake but at least he was able to have more chocolatey stuff since she avoided contamination.

It was a busy day. We met the birthday boy's dad and sister at the arena and they took him home at 3pm. Then they went down south to Laser Tag, then back to the birthday boy's house for pizza. (Ty took his own gluten-free pizza crust and pepperoni, they had safe sauce and cheese). Then chocolate fountain, open presents and assorted goofing off. They finally went to sleep about 20 to eleven, and I'm sure it was a big disappointment to Ty getting up at 7 this morning for hockey. He went to the game (his team won 9-1 :o ) and then he went back to the party for some backyard hockey and more goofing off until 11.

He had lots of fun and they were pretty careful, I think, so a good time was had by all. Actually, on the way from hockey back to the party Ty said, "I'll bet Dad and Walker had Domino's last night and went to McDonald's before practice this morning." I asked why he thought that and he said, "Because I was on a sleepover, so they wouldn't feel bad." He's right. They did. :ph34r:

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Yeah I think my body is definitely telling me to lay off the alcohol I just don’t seem to agree with it right now but that might be because my gut is still trying to heal.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you so much for your validation. I completely agree with you that the crackers COULD be the culprit even with very small trace amounts (less than 20ppm) and accumulating over time - I am at the point where I am about to request that my son gets retested to make sure that my "control subject" is still testing perfectly lol. I have a meeting with my celiac disease doc tomorrow and will run the crackers by him to see if he is willing to retest in a few weeks. I have not had any of them for the past 3 weeks so far, so fingers crossed, we can retest and hopefully find out if it is them. And no - I have been scouring EVERYTHING to make sure nothing else has changed. Only use gluten-free lip products and toothpaste so not there either (but very good suggestion). Thank you for validating me. I feel like many are just saying "you are not being gluten-free enough - but I do have a perfect 16 year track record that proves otherwise - so has to be something sneaky.

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...
