[Sca-cooks] HELP!!! with Chocolate/White Choc...stuff plan or is this ok? Isthere a better way?

[Marcus Antaya]

I haven't read the rest of the posts, but I have a little chocolate fondue
plug-in pot from Crock-Pot...

and forgive me, but it sounds like you're using Chocolate Body Paint....this
would work well with that, as it is a constant temp in the entire pot, and
not too too hot...
