General Info:
What is a chocolate fountain?
It's a tiered stainless steel fountain with a heating element in its basin. A motor-driven auger carries warm chocolate up to the top tier, and the chocolate then flows down continuously like a chocolate waterfall. Guests have a wonderful time dipping items such as fresh and dried fruits, cookies, marshmallows, candies, etc., in the fountain. The warm chocolate is also wonderful for ladling over foods like sundaes, wedding cake, pies, etc.
Where are our Chocolate Fountains available?
Fountain rentals are available throughout the five boroughs of New York City. We are happy to provide chocolate fountains in Long Island, Metro New Jersey and Metro Connecticut.
How many people does the chocolate fountain serve?
We offer fountains in three sizes: small serves up to 100 people; medium up to 300 people; large up to 600 people. If you want to offer your guests more variety, we suggest renting fountains with two different types of chocolate.

The attendant will be present before your event to set up the fountain, and afterwards to break down, remove and clean the fountain. During the dipping time the attendant assists your guests with the fountain and answers fountain related questions. He/she keeps the fountain replenished and discourages the guests from double dipping and skinny dipping.
Is the chocolate fountain kosher?
Yes, we only use kosher chocolate in our fountain.
What if we want to keep the fountain for a longer period of time?
We charge $275/ per hour for additional dipping time.
What if we want more chocolate?
Extra chocolate is rarely needed, but is available at the cost of $45 per three-pound bag.
What kind of chocolate do you use?
We only use premium gourmet couverture chocolate: Callebaut from Belgium and Guittard from the United States. Couverture (French for "covering") chocolate has about 35 percent more cocoa butter than regular chocolate and is used as a coating when making chocolates and truffles. It is ideal for chocolate fountain dipping.
Can you supply a different chocolate if we have a favorite like Hershey's, Nestle's, Cadbury's, etc.?
Of course. As long as the chocolate is available as couverture and we can find it, we can supply it. Any additional costs in obtaining it, however, will be passed on to you.
What items can be dipped in the fountain?
Pretty much anything your heart desires except particularly crumbly foods like certain cakes, brownies, delicate cookies, etc. Crumbs can interfere with the smooth flow of the chocolate. But, we provide a ladle so your guests can scoop the chocolate fondue on top of any "undippable" dish they wish.
What sizes are the chocolate fountains?
Small: Height: 25" Diameter: 10.5" Medium: Height: 34" Diameter: 18.5" Large: Height: 44" Diameter: 18.5"
What are the table and electrical requirements for the Chocolate Fountain?
We require a table that is sturdy and capable of handling 150 lbs. in weight. The table MUST be level so the fountain won't spill over when it's full. The table will require two tablecloths that match the décor of your event. The Chocolate Fountain requires a 120-volt grounded electrical outlet that adheres to contemporary safety standards and supplies at least 15 amps, within 10 feet of the set-up location.
Can the Chocolate Fountain be used outdoors?
Unfortunately, chocolate fountains are too attractive to insects and the flow of the chocolate is too sensitive to wind and temperature shifts to be used outdoors.
