Chocolate Fountains
Making a Special Occasion Even More Special
Nothing is more unique, fun, and classy than serving your guests dessert via a chocolate fountain. Not only would it look great on a table in your home, but it is also ideal for special functions like corporate events, celebrations, weddings and fundraisers.
Anyone familiar with fondue will know that a chocolate fountain is quite similar. However, instead of keeping the chocolate warm in a pot, the fountain works just as a decorative water fountain would, keeping the chocolate melted and continuously flowing.
When using a chocolate fountain, any chocolate can be used, whether it is milk, white, or dark. If you have more than one, you can offer your guests a number of choices. Whichever you choose, fun accompaniments, such as pretzels, fruits, cakes, and more can be served along with it. Guests will love using a skewer to dip their own treats in the cascading chocolate. It is recommended to melt the chocolate before placing it into the fountain to reduce the risk of burning.
If you haven’t heard of a chocolate fountain before, you are probably not alone. They are pretty new to the party market for home use. You can either opt to buy a smaller version for your own, personal use. Just be sure to select a quality brand to help prevent common mishaps like clogging or jamming. Or, if you are planning a large-scale event, many companies rent larger fountains for such occasions.
Large fountains are 40 inches in height, weigh close to 100 pounds, and can dispense 20 pounds of flowing chocolate. Definitely big enough for even the largest event! Depending on the number of people attending the function, you may want to have more than one fountain which can also serve different types of chocolate.
