The Chocolate Fountains lens is dedicated to oozing, liquid chocolate fondues for parties, events, and weddings. Melted chocolate is pumped up the inside of the fountains and flows steadily over the tiers. Chocolate fountains are an eye-popping feature at events, and the smell of warm chocolate fills the room. Popular food to dip into fountains include strawberries, marshmallows, biscuits and other fruit. A great party idea.

Things To Consider When Renting a Chocolate Fountain
- Make sure the fountain is made only from hygenic stainless steel.
- Check to see if there are delivery fees for your area.
- Make sure that the supplier organises assembly of the fountain, set-up, insertion of the chocolate, maintenance, and clean-up after the event.
- Find out what kind of chocolate is being used in the fountain. Only couveture chocolate will melt and flow correctly. Otherwise, cooking oils are added which degrades the chocolate texture and consistency.
- Decide whether you want milk, dark, or white chocolate; or all three.
- Make sure you get the right sized fountain for your event; you don't want to run out of chocolate before the party finishes; or have to add more chocolate in a hurry - messy and distracting.
- Check to see if your supplier charges extra for having an operator in attendance or on call.
- Decide how long you want the fountain at your event; make sure you aren't caught short if your event goes longer than expected.

- My fountains were done for my family at Easter and my sons wedding in May of 09. The fountain was a big hit and I found the most enjoyed food was strawberries & rice krispy treats & frozen creme puffs. The kids like the marshmallows & pretzels with alittle extra sprinkle of mini M&Ms or candy sprinkles.
