Sephra Fondue of the Month (click to enlarge)
- 6 cups light corn syrup
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cinnamon candies (Red Hots)
Bring corn syrup, sugar, and water to a boil. Add the candies. Boil until the mixture reaches 220°F on a candy thermometer. Allow to cool slightly before running through the fountain. Run on high heat. Thin with water if necessary.
Yield: Enough to run through the largest home fountains. Multiply quantities by 4 for large commercial fountains.
Suggested Dipping Items
- Apples
- Pears
- Popcorn balls
- Payday bars
- Saltwater taffy
- Rice Krispy Treats
- Tootsie Rolls
- Sugar cookies
A Tip: Before dipping apples in the fondue, drop them briefly into boiling water. This removes the wax coating and allows the fondue to stick better.

Apples Browning?
Remember to use NatureSeal to keep your cut apples fresh. This flavorless antioxidant keeps apple slices from browning for days. One 11 oz. container treats up to 200 lbs of food.
Dipping Item Idea
Cut Rice Krispy Treats into ghost shapes and use Sephra chocolate chips to make eyes. Serve on Sephra wooden skewers.
Creepy-licious Bats
Sephra (click to enlarge)
Kids will love creating their own chocolatey bats.
- Nutter Butter cookies
- Sephra Belgian Dark Chocolate
Cover cookie sheet with wax paper. Melt Sephra Belgian Dark Chocolate in a small bowl. Cover Nutter Butter cookies with chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip from cookie and place on wax paper. Place tray of cookies in the fridge to harden. Once chocolate has set, remove cookies and let your little trick-or-treaters decorate the bats with fun faces using gel frosting.
A Twist: You can also decorate the bats with candy. Do this by letting the chocolate set only slightly before adding candy. Then let the bats harden in refrigerator before serving.
*Quick & Crunchy Caramel Corn
(for use in Monster Mix)
- 1 stick butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups popcorn (popped)
Combine the first three ingredients in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is caramelized and reaches an amber color or reaches hard-crack stage. Remove mixture from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over popped popcorn and stir until popcorn is completely coated. (CAUTION: Syrup mixture will be VERY hot. Do not touch!) Spread popcorn on baking sheet and let cool until hardened.
