Many party planners make chocolate fountains a part of their dessert or appetizer selections. Guests have a tendency to finish off all of the dipping options that come along with a chocolate fountain. Once you have set up the chocolate for the fountain, you can work on choosing and arranging the dippers.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Pick the type of dippers that you want to surround the chocolate fountain. For parties, consider a mix of items, including fruits, cookies and pretzels.

  2. Step 2

    Cut up the fruit. Keep each fruit item separate and clean the board between cutting each item.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the tray that you are going to use to arrange the dippers. Typically, a flat round serving platter works the best. When you use this type, you can set the chocolate fountain in the middle and arrange the dipping items around it.

  4. Step 4

    Put the fruit on one side of the tray. Place additional dippers on the opposite side. Additional dipping options include the cookies, pretzels and marshmallows that you chose.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange each food item right next to each other. Your display should not leave space between the different dippers.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember to set a tray of skewers next to the chocolate fountain, so that your guests can have easy access to the desserts. Keep napkins and plates around the tray as well.
  • You should keep a set of extra dippers nearby and ready to serve. Refill the arrangement if the tray starts to empty quickly.

on 3/16/2008 I LOVE chocolate fountains! You could also put some shot glasses next to it, it tastes even better on it's own! Also, remember to put out some napkins!
