Having a party, and have decided to buy a couple of Choc fountains, choc and dippy bits, and DIY! I just have not got £300 odd pounds to hire it.

Its for my birthday party and only have 30-40 guests, plus a few kiddies.

Any ideas on where the best place is to buy, and what sort of chocolate to get?
If I get 2 choc fountains I can do 1 milk choc and 1 white choc, everyone happy then, and I get to reuse them again!

Its in place of dessert, so will need to have a good selection of bits!

Thanks!

I noticed yesterday that our local (telford) Works had these at 9.99

Dont forget that you need to clean them whilst the chocolate is still runny. Once its set they are a nightmare to clean

As you have guessed i have done it once ..... never again ( it took hours !!)

Pretzels are nice dipped in the fountain too - sounds odd but works!!!

It's a lovely idea, and almost any fruit can be chopped up to use (figs taste just out of this World with just a little on them) - and just provide sticks for making up kebabs. Also those little finger sponges that you can buy for making trifle with work really well (with or without a piece of fruit) and so do small meringues or tiny muffins or various biscuits (especially lovely on shortbread - drool). Just let your imagination run riot for the dippers.

I'd have to have three fountains though, one white, one milk and one dark:D - but then I am very addicted to chocolate:o

Everyone likes to eat chocolate. Even in a simple gathering or celebration, chocolate will be a so called "save the best for last"..
