Q. How does a chocolate fountain actually work?
A. Pre-melted chocolate is poured into the fountain, the machine is then switched on and the chocolate is lifted by a screw mechanism to the top of the fountain before cascading to the bottom again. Guests then dip food such as strawberries or marshmallows into the flowing chocolate. A heater in the fountain base keeps the chocolate at a deliciously warm temperature, it will never become hot or burn you.

A. Yes we can provide a wind guard that will allow the fountain to function outside
