Chocolate fountains are ubiquitous th

se days and are sure to t

ckle anyone's fancy. Charlie and the Ch

colate Factory definitely had no small p

rt in the craze for chocolate f

untains, with pure chocolate rivers of d

light. Fantasies are wonderful, but they d

n't satisfy the taste buds. Real ch

colate fountains do.

Maybe you want your own p

rsonal chocolate fountain for parties, or j

st to indulge yourself. There are n

merous tabletop varieties that are quite

ffordable. However, not all of them m

lt the chocolate themselves. Some chocolate f

untains require that you pre-melt the ch

colate, as they will only keep it h

ated and flowing, while others do m

lt the chocolate for you.

It's important to d

termine whether the fountain is a s

lf-melt when you're shopping for one. M

ny online sites have really fun ch

colate fountain models that will provide you w

th endless delight. For those who are w

rried about tripping over power cords and kn

cking their fountains over, there are r

chargeable battery-powered models available.

Even the clumsiest

ndividual is unlikely to cause an

ccidental chocolate flood with a battery-powered ch

colate fountain such as the Giles P

sner model. It actually looks well,

dorable, and comes in a jet bl

ck model or a candy pink v

rsion. It's perfect for that party

utdoors where you don't want your g

ests tripping over electrical wires.

The Sephra m

del is also a good choice if you w

nt a compact fountain. The Sephra l

ne has a small model for use at h

me, but they also have large

nes that stand up to 40

nches tall. There's a 16-inch model

vailable that should be a perfect fit for m

st people, and this version will m

lt the chocolate for you so th

t you don't have to melt it in the m

crowave first.

Does it get bigger? Yes! Th

re's a chocolate fountain that will tr

ly amaze you. The largest chocolate f

untain in the world is located at the B

llagio in Las Vegas. It measures a wh

pping 27 feet in height, although

nly 14 feet of the fountain is

ctually visible. A total of around 2,000 p

unds of chocolate circulates through that B

llagio fountain.

The chocolate falls from overhead p

pes into twenty five glass shells. Up

n close inspection, those with an eye for art w

ll note that the basins are in f

ct distinctly Chihuly-esque. Glass artist Dale Ch

huly designed the ceiling sculpture in the B

llagio lobby. As a chocolate lover, th

s huge fountain must be on y

ur to do list next time y

u're in Las Vegas. In the m

an time, you can have your own sm

ller version of chocolate fun with y

ur own chocolate fountain at home.
