Chocoholics dream of rivers of the delightful dark substance flowing in abundance. Giant rivers and lakes of just chocolate to swim in and bask in. This sounds a little far fetched, and it probably is, but to say that flowing chocolate is a dream probably is not. Well rivers might be out of the question, but fountains are not. There are places where you can rent or buy a chocolate fountain or fountains. With a specially made melting chocolate, these fountains both melt it and pump a continuous flow down its slopes and edges. The fountain creates a spectacle that’s both interesting and unique to watch. Its not everyday you see a fountain of chocolate, so it can be used as a means to attract attention.

Throw a party and bring the chocolate fountain

When throwing a party or social gathering of any sort this centerpiece can have a dual function. As mentioned above, it can be used as a source of attention. Something new and rarely seen is a good way to bring people in and keep them around. Also it can be used as a fancy way to distribute foods. When setting up the fountain, why not lay out a few strawberries? Put some skewers down to pick the berries up and dip with and you have chocolate covered strawberries. Apart from just strawberries, lay down a few other fruits to broaden the selection.

Since the flow of chocolate is perfect for dipping, it can easily double as a chocolate fondue station. You have your fruits already, so add a few other things that might go good with chocolate. Such things as gummy bears, or pretzels, or marshmallows and graham crackers, etc. Use your imagination to see what all is available.

You are not limited in the types of chocolate to use either. You can select from dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate to melt. It's all up to you and your tastes.
