I was at a friends wedding a couple of years ago and at the reception they had an ice sculpture of a swan (not sure why) and also a chocolate fountain which I’d never seen before or since. You just put bits of fruit or mash mallows on the end of skewers and then put them under the chocolate fountain to get a nice generous coating of warm milky chocolate.

You can then enjoy these culinary delights or just drip chocolate down your best suit and smear it over your face (I have photographic proof of what happens when a six year old meets a chocolate fountain for the first time.

You can now buy your own chocolate fountain in the UK from firebox it is a bit pricey at 90 UK (about 150 dollars) but just think of all the new friends you’ll make at future parties.
