1. Does The Chocolate Fountain Use Real Chocolate?
Yes, we only use a high quality Belgian Coverture Chocolate. This is done for two reasons: First and foremost - Taste is of utmost importance and we will not compromise quality. Second, the quality, consistency and flow of the chocolate will be much more appealling. Many of our competitors use an imitation chocolate which compromises the taste and quality. Contact us and we will be happy to mail you a sample packet of our chocolate!

2. How Much Chocolate Do You Provide?
We provide enough chocolate to handle your event as the chocolate fountain will serve an unlimited number of guests as long as additional chocolate is added. Unlike our competitors, we don't "nickel and dime" you by charging you by the pound or by how many guests are in attendance.

3. What Are My Choices Of Chocolate?
We offer White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, and Dark (taste of Semi-Sweet and not bitter) Chocolate.

11. What Dipping Items Can Be Used With The Fountain?

We've seen it all! Strawberries, pineapple, bananas, marshmallows, pretzels, cream puffs, rice krispies treats, 2 bite brownies and cookies. The items do not have to be expensive to be a crowd pleaser! Please keep in mind that any crumbly type of food that may break apart easily or is crumbly--especially angel food cake or brownies with nuts on top--tends to compromise the smooth, flowing nature of the chocolate.

12. Who Provides The Dipping Items?
Either your caterer or you can provide your event with the dipping items. You may have already booked a caterer to provide your event with appetizers and they usually are happy to provide the dipping items as well. We can provide the dipping items, if you wish, at an additional cost depending on what items you choose.

Our attendant will locate the item and discard it so that the smooth flow of the fountain will not be jeopardized.
