Take A Swim In A Chocolate Fountain

When it comes to enjoying the luxury of chocolate, could there be anything more decadent that a chocolate fountain? Rivers of smooth and creamy chocolate plunging over the sides of a fountain, tantalizing us with its rich aroma and velvety color. It?s the stuff of dreams - a chocolate fantasy of which Willy Wonka himself would be proud.

But while a chocolate fountain seems like it would be too good to be true, it is in fact real. Used for special occasions such as parties or weddings, the most common chocolate fountain is a tabletop device that keeps chocolate at a high enough temperature to keep it liquid. While some models will actually melt the chocolate for you, others require you to melt and add the chocolate yourself.

The chocolate fountain can be found in number of locations. Party rental stores will rent the fountain for your use and in some cases will assemble the fountain, operate it during your event, and disassemble it afterwards for a nominal fee. Other, smaller tabletop versions can simply be picked up at the rental site. Some require an electricity source and others are battery-operated. Regardless of the power source they all come in a variety of sizes and colors sure to fit your theme and budget.

If you plan to use the chocolate fountain at a number of different events, it may be worth the price to purchase one outright. An affordable and easy to operate chocolate fountain can be yours with just a little bit of research. Check out party supply stores for their best prices or clearance items. Or go online to compare prices and sizes of different models. For the party planners among us, the addition of a chocolate fountain can make our parties the popular place to be with this simple addition.

While some use a chocolate fountain as simply a decorative item, most will use it conjunction with bite sized fruit or pretzels that guests can dip into the fountain. Instant chocolate covered strawberries, or white chocolate covered pretzels will surely be a hit.
