Does a waterfall of melted chocolate cascading down onto an awaiting
strawberry sound appealing to you? Or have you ever wanted to serve
chocolate fondue at your birthday, wedding or other catered event but
didn't have 100 fondue pots to accommodate all of your guests? Well look
no further, the chocolate fountain is perfect for you.
A chocolate fountain takes the best of chocolate fondue and reworks it into
a more crowd friendly form. Chocolate is heated up into liquid form and
pours out of the fountain in a beautiful display that's sure to attract the
most attention at the dessert table. Usually there are two or three tiers
to the fountain that give the chocolate waterfall the shape of a
multi-layered wedding cake. Guests choose a pre-cut dessert of their
choice such as fruit, cakes, marshmallows or anything they can put on their
fork and coat it by holding it in the chocolate flow for a moment.
There is now a home version of the chocolate fountain available. This is a
nifty little device that brings the luxury of the chocolate fountain right
into your home. Chocolate & vegetable oil are melted and poured into the
appliance's reservoir and that's it. Switch the fountain on and you're
ready to start dipping. Even clean up is easy because the appliance is
dish washer safe.
Chocolate Fondue is an intimate dish best enjoyed by a few friends sitting
cozily around a fondue pot. But for larger parties and events, the
chocolate fountain can't be beat. Not only will it bring an elegance to
your dessert table but it will also deliver when it comes to taste. Who
can resist a delicious chocolate covered treat.
