The illustrious Chocolate Fountain!

What is a Chocolate Fountain?

A chocolate fountain is a device for serving chocolate fondue. 
It can come in many different sizes, mini, medium, large and extra large depending on the number of guests you wish to 
cater for.
Chocolate fountain is a device for serving chocolate fondue. Typical examples resemble a stepped cone, standing 2–4 feet 
tall with a crown at the top and stacked tiers over a basin at the bottom. The basin is heated to keep the chocolate in a liquid state so it can be pulled into a center cylinder then vertically transported to the top of the fountain by a corkscrew auger. From there it flows over the tiers creating a chocolate "waterfall" in which food items like strawberries or marshmallows can be dipped. Melted chocolate is very temperamental, so rich couverture chocolate, which is high
in cocoa butter, is commonly used to ensure consistent flow.
The Chocolate Fountain can be used for anything you so desire; whether it be a wedding, banquet, brunch, catering event, or birthday. No matter what the occasion.
What kind of chocolate is  used  in the Chocolate Fountain?
Any couverture chocolate will be fine (or chocolate with 33%
to 44% cocoa butter).
What is couverture chocolate?
Couverture is a chocolate that has more cocoa butter than regular chocolate, anywhere from 33% to 44%. This type

What accompaniments can be used with the fountain?

Chocolate fountain and some yummy tidbits to dip in it . . .
One  can use marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries and 
other fruits, hard cookies, and anything edible that goes with chocolate. However, we strongly advise against anything crumbly (i.e. pound cake, brownies, etc.) or that may easily
slide off the skewers. Crumbs can clog the holes and block the constant flow of chocolate through the Fountain.  A few other things to dip could be candies, mint sticks, marshmallows, grapes, orange slices, biscotti, cookies,etc . . .
Chocolate fountains are quickly becoming a must have at weddings, parties, fundraisers, corporate events, birthday 
and anniversary parties, as well as just about any other 
social gathering or special event.
Chocolate Fountains are a Fun and Unique because one 
dipping one's  favorite food or other goodies into the
