A home chocolate fountain offers a unique way to serve warm or melted chocolate fondue. The average fountain stands anywhere from 19-inches to an impressive 45-inches. The design consists of several tiers, with a round basin situated at the bottom. The heat, which is located under the fountain's basin, warms up the chocolate before a corkscrew pump pushes the chocolate up through the center of the fountain until it reaches the top. The chocolate then tumbles over the tiers until it creates a chocolate waterfall effect. People can then dip in anything they please into the chocolate including, marshmallows, candy and strawberries.
