Fabulous Maple Syrup Fountain

This maple syrup fountain was half-inspired by those early mornings spent with the gang in Lot X, and the other half was an article I happened to catch on Buzzfeed not long ago called 5 Ways to Hack a Chocolate Fountain in which someone had the brilliant idea to use maple syrup instead of chocolate. How perfect for a mid-morning brunch or, perhaps, an upscale tailgate party?

For the maple syrup fountain, we found that it worked much better to preheat the maple syrup before pouring it into the fountain (and be sure to preheat the fountain as well). We had a variety of pancakes, waffles and french toast sticks for dipping. We used store-bought mini pancakes, mini waffles on lollipop sticks and french toast sticks on skewers to make it easy to drizzle syrup on. One thing we didn't use that I would highly suggest is...BACON.
