Yes, chocolate-lovers, the spectacular Chocolate Fountain really does flow with lashings of liquid choccy. All you have to do is fill it up, turn it on and watch in wonder. Once you’ve recovered from the shock of seeing those mesmerising curtains of cascading Belgian chocolate you can get busy dipping your delicacies into the fountain’s warm liquid embrace. Strawberries are stupendous, fudge is fantabulous and marshmallows are magnificent (forgive the alliteration - we’re feeling wonderfully Wonka-esque). But the truth is, pretty much anything you can shove on a stick tastes amazing when it’s covered in warm, gooey chocolate

So how does the easy-to-use Chocolate Fountain work, then? Well, we’d love to tell you that a team of Oompa Loompas has been crammed inside but we know you’re not that gullible. (Besides, we’ve looked). Basically the chocolate is heated in the basin and then carried to the top of the fountain via a rotating internal shaft. Apparently this eliminates the usual blockages associated with pumps (something Mr Wonka could’ve done with when Augustus Gloop got greedy) so your fountain will always flow smoothly.
