Nice Chocolate Fountains
Chocolate fountains are ubiquitous these days and are sure to tickle anyone's fancy. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory definitely had no small part in the craze for chocolate fountains, with pure chocolate rivers of delight. Fantasies are wonderful, but they don't satisfy the taste buds. Real chocolate fountains do.
Maybe you want your own personal chocolate fountain for parties, or just to indulge yourself. There are numerous tabletop varieties that are quite affordable. But, know that not all the fountains are designed to melt the chocolate. Some chocolate fountains actually melt the chocolate themselves, while others keep the chocolate warm that you pre-heated before putting it in the fountain.
It's important to determine whether the fountain is a self-melt when you're shopping for one. That being said, there are some fun models of fountains out there such as a number of models at online sites. For those who are worried about tripping over power cords and knocking their fountains over, there are rechargeable battery-powered models available.
The Giles Posner model is designed with ease of use in mind and it's virtually impossible to make a big chocolate mess with it. You can get this model in pink or in black, and it looks rather attractive. It's perfect for that party outdoors where you don't want your guests tripping over electrical wires.
The Sephra model is also a good choice if you want a compact fountain. Sephra is a maker of large-scale chocolate fondue fountains that includes models up to 40 inches tall, but you can get one of their mini-fountains for home use. They have a 16 inch model that melts the chocolate as well, which makes it a wonderful choice for domestic use.
Here is a fun fact for you readers out there: there actually is a fountain bigger than anything you have probably ever seen. Bellagio in Las Vegas boasts the largest chocolate fountain in the world. This monster of a fountain stands 27 feet tall, even though you can only see 14 feet of it. A total of around 2,000 pounds of chocolate circulates through that Bellagio fountain.
The chocolate falls from overhead pipes into twenty five glass shells. Upon close inspection, those with an eye for art will note that the basins are in fact distinctly Chihuly-esque. As a matter of fact, the ceiling sculpture in the Bellagio's lobby was designed by noted glass artist Dale Chihuly. As a chocolate lover, this huge fountain must be on your to do list next time you're in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, have fun at home with your own mini-fountain.
