dippers for chocolate fountain

reehsetin

Hoping people have some good ideas about what to dip in a chocolate fountain apart from fruit and marshmallows, nothing too messy!
someone suggested fudge pieces but dont know how well that will work


and where to get a decent amount of marshmallows for cheap? had a look and http://www.mrsomalleys.co.uk/pages-productinfo/product-92:d84989960bcb1afe648a65ac82401b1d/swizzels-matlow-drumsticks.html
seems quite good, (plus i need some drumsticks which they do)
would 2kg of marshmallows be enough for 170 people?
ps we're having two cakes aswell

coconut macaroons (sp):drool:bags of drumsticks bogof in wilkos might work out a bit cheaper 99p i think

wilkinsons website isnt saying bogof but standard is 25p each, even bogof is 12.5p the website is even with postage about 6p per drumstick :P yum

wont coconut macaroons crumble under the chocolate?

I know you said 'apart from fruit', but have you considered dried fruit. Apricots are good with chocolate and soft prunes are lush

And what about coconut ice -bounty bars ! Or make some hokey pokey (recipe is around here somewhere) it's like the inside of a crunchie bar.

Morrisons have tubs of mini ring do-nuts - yummy when dipped!!

yes min doughnuts are great , dont know about Morrisons but when I needed enough for 150 from Tescos I nearly didnt get any because I didnt pre book them , so if you want some book them in advance to be sure they get them for you.

The only thing I ever want to dip in these is my tongue.. and lap up the chocolate like a wild beast! *droooooool*

biscuits.. rich tea fingers.. ginger nuts.. shortbread etc..
bread sticks
ice cream wafers
lollipops..
those big jelly snakes..and other assorted jelly sweets
mini muffins and fairy buns.. dirt cheap to make millions of.. and can pop them on cocktail sticks!
toffee
rice cakes

Can I have an invite please?

Softstuff

A friend of mine who ran a choccy fountain company used to use strawberries, banana, shortbread fingers, mini doughnuts, mini macaroons (from morrisons as I recall) and marshmallows.

If I was helping them finish it off, I'd use fingers

different! so in the guidelines of what im looking for but i dont personally like dried fruit except for pineapple so may call birthday girl privilege and not have them
hokey pokey sounds good ill look it up, would like to avoid special icecreams because we're highering a place out and not sure if theyll let us keep stuff in the fridge/be willing to serve it
