Note: These Frequently Asked Questions are the most asked questions for The Chocolate Affair and
Tibbetts House Bed and Breakfast. If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to ask.


What is a Chocolate Fountain?
Answer: The Chocolate fountain is a unique, attractive and elegant centerpiece for any special occasion. Chocolate is melted which then cascades over stainless steel tiers allowing guests to dip fruit and other confections into the chocolate. The Chocolate Fountain is an unforgettable experience that will enhance any special event.


How does a Chocolate Fountain work?
Answer: Melted chocolate is put into the base of the Fountain until it is near the top rim of the base. A heating element, which is controlled by a thermostat, will keep the chocolate at the optimal temperature for dipping. An auger (corkscrew) brings the chocolate up to the top where it will then flow down the 3 tiers and completely “enrobe” the Fountain, thus creating the ultimate chocolate fondue.


What can you dip in the Chocolate Fountain?
Answer: You can use marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries and other fruits, hard cookies, and anything edible that goes with chocolate. However, we strongly advise against anything crumbly (i.e. pound cake, brownies, etc.) or that may easily slide off the skewers. Crumbs can clog the holes and block the constant flow of chocolate through the Fountain.


Can the Chocolate Fountain be used outside?
Answer: Yes, the Fountain can be used outside, but in limited areas. This is for two reasons. First, because chocolate has such an aroma that it will attract little flying creatures. Secondly, the chocolate needs to be kept warm at all times. Sometimes this is a little difficult if there is a breeze of some sort. Keep the Fountain close to a building, for protection, or better yet, with some sort of canopy over the Fountain.
