Dessert bars are a favorite among people of all ages, and a chocolate fountain can be just the right touch to add a little flare and fun into the mix. Guest can enjoy dipping anything from pretzels, apples and strawberries to marshmallows, rice crispy treats and graham crackers.

In addition to the standard chocolate fountain, brides are finding other ways to incorporate fountains into their menu. Whether its during the cocktail hour, part of the main buffet or a late night snack, specialty shops like Chocolate Fountain Expressions can provide dessert and specialty fountains that are delicious addition to any wedding as well as a great source of entertainment.

Specialty fountains ideas:

Appetizer fountain: Ranch dressing with carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, celery and tomato dippers

Mexican themed fountain: Spicy queso with a nacho bar of chips, jalapenos, guacamole, onions and tomatoes

Italian-themed fountain: Marinara sauce with pizza bites, mozzarella sticks, breadsticks or fried ravioli dippers

Barbecue fountain:  Barbecue sauce with chicken, beef, sausage or chicken tenders dipped on skewers

Caramel fountain: Caramel with apples, pears, cookies and pretzel dippers

Beverage fountain: Champagne, fruit punch or egg nog served fountain style

Tips on proper dipping etiquette

 

Don’t double dip- You don’t want to share your germs with the rest of the wedding guests

 

Don’t reuse skewers- Reusing skewers can spread germs just like double dipping

 

Make sure to share- When dipping, limit yourself to two to three items at a time on your skewer

Use a Plate- Use the provided plates to catch anything that may drip from your skewer
