Sephra Review & Giveaway



As that name suggests Chocolate Fountains! I'm not a huge chocolate fan. Weird I know. I like Chocolate, but never crave it or anything like that. However, chocolate fountains are an exception. I know that quality chocolate is used in them and fruit is AWESOME dipped in chocolate. Sephra agreed to send me a fountain and 4 lbs of chocolate for review. 
I took a picture of everything before I started using it all, and now I can't find it. So you can't see it before hand. Sorry
I could NEVER get it to run smoothly. It said to do 1 lb at a time. I put 2 lbs in that thing and it still didn't run smoothly.


 I made Pretzels with it though!!
 Then I used the Chocolate Chips to make CC Cookies!
 A little too done, but very yummy.
The chocolate was delicious. Some of the bext I've ever had. However, I wasn't impressed with the fountain. Like I said, it never ran smooth. I let it all melt all the way (and then some) I then let it run for 10 minutes before taking those pictures. Nothing seemed to work. I turned it off and on again multiple times. I tried to melt MORE chocolate in it. NOTHING helped it. It just didn't run smooth. But the pretzels still turned out good. I was happy about that. And the cookies were delicious as well. 

Other than that. I put 1 lb of chocolate chips in the bottom and turned the heat on. Stirred a couple times, once it was melted, I added another 1 lb (the whole bag now) and left the heat on and let it melt. Once that was all melted I turned it on. There are 2 switches, one is heat and one is to turn on the motor. There is a spindle that moves the chocolate up the spout and down into the 'fountain'. I loved the process it was fast and easy. It said it would take 45-60 minutes to melt. It took about 15 for the first half and about 10 minutes for the second half to melt. It was pretty fast. 

Overall it was a good experience, but if we were having a party I would've liked it to look a little prettier. 

There are LOTS of different kinds of chocolate to choose from on the site. White, Milk, Belgium, Melano and more.

Price: The Fountain I received is $70 new or $47 refurbished. Decent prices. Chocolate is $22 for 4 lbs of Premium Milk Chocolate.

Overall: **** It just didn't work as planned, but it all tasted good.
