This weekend I talked to someone demo-ing a "chocolate fountain." They were
using Merckens "Falls" chocolate, which they seemed to think was not
"coating" but the real thing. I have my doubts, since it apparently cost
about $2 per lb. It would appear that the chocolate used for these things is
thinned with something--and at that price, I doubt it is cocoa butter.

Anyone have any info on this? (BTW, it was VERY sweet.)
