Winry's Thirty-Second Automail Cleaner --er um I mean -- Hot Chocolate Fondue
For the days when everybody around her seems to have forgotten she's a girl underneath the overalls and the automail grease -- right along with how they've forgotten that automail isn't meant to be used as a sledgehammer, a battering ram, a train emergency brake system, or any of the other dozens of gear-shearing bad ideas that have been thoroughly tested out by assorted stubborn blonde idiots over the years...

Winry's Thirty Second Busted Up Automail Gunk Cleaner Hot Chocolate Fondue
Ready in 30 seconds for emergency use.

2 parts diesel fuel semisweet chocolate chips

1 part lubricant ... ... lubricant (honey, agave nectar, or corn syrup)

Assorted viscosity adjustors decadent extras (pinch of cinnamon / unwrapped caramel / crunched up toffee to taste).

Pile of parts that need degreasing fresh and/or frozen fruit

Small Pyrex bowl, lab beaker, or other nuke-safe container

Microwave

Drizzle the syrup over the chips in the bowl.

Nuke 10 seconds. Stir. Nuke 10 more seconds. Stir. (If needed, repeat until you have achieved sludge.)

Sprinkle on decadent extras.

Dunk dippables.

Put dippables in face so as to keep the rest of what wants to come out of your mouth safely gummed up until you can stop seeing red.

Approx. scale:
1/4 cup chocolate chips to 2 Tbsp lube honey or other syrup works nicely for an apple, a few strawberries, and a handful of frozen blueberries or grapes. Scale up to feed a crowd, or keep alllll to yourself. (If scaling up, though, microwave in several smaller batches so that the chocolate doesn't scorch in one area while still solid in another.)


Yes, it's been one of those months...
