Chocolate Fountains
Chocolate Heaven in your own Living Room
Have you ever been to a wedding or party where they've hired one of those chocolate fountains? You know what I mean - the ones with a constant waterfall of liquid chocolate that you dip fruit, sweets and marshmallows in! They're amazing aren't they!
Well how do you fancy one that you can use at home, complete with 900g of free chocolate....
This new stainless steel Chocolate Fondue Fountain is the ultimate accessory for home entertaining. Just fill the base with melted chocolate, turn on the motor and experience pure chocolate heaven! Warm belgian chocolate (or any chocolate for that matter!) is carried to the top of the fountain where it cascades down, forming a flowing curtain of delicious chocolate. You can dip whatever you want into the chocolate - as long as it goes on a stick it will be okay!!
They are perfect for use all year round - brilliant at barbecues in the summer, perfect for parties in the winter and fabulous for family get-togethers at Christmas! Whatever the occasion, the Chocolate Fountain is sure to be the number one attraction! You don't have to be Willy Wonka to own one and you certainly won't need a golden ticket to get to see one!
Unlike most chocolate fountains available, this one features an auger (a rotating spiral shaft) which carries the chocolate to the top of the fountain rather than pumping it. This method is used in the professional chocolate fountains and eliminates the blockages associated with pump systems. Such a system will come in particularly handy if you ever invite Augustus Gloop to your party....
Features:
- Stainless Steel design ensures durability
- 'Drop on' tier assembly for setup in seconds
- Quiet motor
- Easy to use pre-set heat controls to maintain chocolate at the perfect temperature
- Auger rather than pump to eliminate blockages
- 900g of specially formulated Belgian Chocolate included
Of course, you don't have to have guests round before you can use it.....
Don't forget, extra chocolate is available to order separately

Last night we finally got a big enough group together to try out the chocolate fountain. I filled it up and everyone was standing there drooling waiting for it to be ready. I was quite surprised how much chocolate we used up, but we were all trying different things and being creative. I know I had more than my share, but I had to try everything that everyone brought to dip in the chocolate. We tried the dark Belgian chocolate last night and it was absolutely incredible! And believe it or not, I resisted the urge to start dipping right away so I could snap a few pictures first. Before I took it apart and cleaned it, we got even more creative trying to use up some of the chocolate. I thought of some more items I absolutely have to try next time. And of course we still have to try the milk chocolate and the white chocolate!
I also learned in the last day or so that they say that dark chocolate is good for you. It contains lots of anti-oxidants and is good for you. A quote from whatscookingamerica.net, "Eating 2 ounces (50 grams) a day of plain chocolate with a minimum content of 70% chocolate solids can be beneficial to health, providing protection against heart disease, high blood pressure, and many other health hazards as well as essential trace elements and nutrients such as iron, calcium and potassium, and vitamins A. B1, C, D, and E and it's a lot tastier than boring old vitamin pills too. A 1 1/2-ounce square of chocolate may have as many cancer-fighting antioxidants as a five-ounce glass of red wine."
Well the Chocolate Fountain premiered this last weekend and that little baby worked like a charm! I tend to be skeptical of fancy kitchen appliances so I laughed with glee when we fired it up and that liquid chocolate started flowing just like it was supposed to. (Actually the laughing was kind of muffled by the chocolate-drizzled marshmallow that was immediately stuffed in my mouth.) Mmmm!
We had a few people over to help test out the new toy and everyone gave it high marks. My friend Stacey and her husband brought over a whole grocery cart's worth of goodies to dip in the chocolate, and the scientific food testers were very vocal about their favourite dipping items. My faves were the bananas, angel food cake, and popcorn, in case you're curious.
Oh yum, now you have me craving chocolate and it isn't even December :-D
That chocolate fountain is now on the top of my list!
Those chocolate fountains are the best things in the whole wide world. Can you believ they make one for your house now?
I bought a small chocolate fountain for my house and it worked great for the first hour. After that, it just quit working! I think the motor overheated or something. But it was good anyway.
