Five of the most popular chocolate fountain dips…
24th December 2013 by Zusie CholakovaChocolate fountains look amazing at parties, but how do you enjoy the silky goodness on offer? Use your finger or go for broke and stick your head right in? Sadly (for some) that’s just not how it’s done. It’s all about the dipping food, from marshmallows to jelly babies, the way to enjoy your chocolate fountain is with a good selection of dips.
How to choose? You can go along a theme – why not pick pink and white marshmallows for a pretty in pink 16th birthday party? Or you can double up depending on what else you plan to offer your guests – go for grapes if you’re also serving a selection of cheeses.
For a summer party, why not opt for a Wimbledon theme and plump for juicy strawberries? For the Americans among you, why not spice up your July 4th celebrations Yankee style with some doughnuts and pretzels drenched in our sumptuous Belgian chocolate.
Alternatively, for a taste of the Orient, you can always mix and match some Turkish delight with Medjool dates, which are exceptionally large and sweet – perfect for dipping in chocolate.
Our top five dipping foods…
Strawberries
You simply can’t beat a fresh strawberry covered in chocolate – perfect with a glass of fizz. Available seasonally, our strawberries are super fresh and make for the ideal summer party, whether you’re hosting a lawn party, birthday bash or wedding.
Bananas
Chocolate and bananas – not your first thought, probably, but it’s a killer combination when using our fine Belgian chocolate. The flavour balance is great and is popular with all ages. For true decadence, bananas work great when you run caramel through the fountain with the chocolate.
Marshmallows
Surely the king of the dippers, the marshmallow is a perennial favourite among people who hire chocolate fountains in London. We all love sitting round the campfire and toasting them on sticks – all you’re really doing is replacing the flames with some delicious melted chocolate.
Mini Doughnuts
There is nothing quite like a doughnut dripping in freshly melted Belgian chocolate to set the taste buds tingling. These are great if you don’t fancy serving a formal dessert but do want to make sure your guests have something sweet and substantial for afters.
Mixed Grapes
Our mixed grapes work equally well whether your guests fancy going for something sweet or savoury. Why not offer some cheese on the side? Grapes dipped in chocolate are incredibly moreish – just be careful not to run out!
