We can’t say eating chocolate will get you a body like Rachels, but it’ll probably make you just as happy!

The aim of the study is to determine if a diet rich in important compounds called polyphenols can benefit the cardiovascular system. Dark chocolate rich in cocoa contains such compounds.

As the study is only taking place in Northern Ireland, we here at Chocolate Fountain Hire suggest you try out conducting your own research. Why not find out what dips go best with a dark chocolate fountain? Or better still, what flavour of chocolate goes best alongside a dark chocolate fountain – a white chocolate fountain or a milk chocolate fountain?

Chocolate fountain opportunities and combinations are endless, so find out more about Chocolate Fountain Hire today.

Some snaps from a spring wedding in the south – a delightful occasion for all involved. People often ask if we tire of attending weddings every weekend. The simple answer is; no! We love seeing the joy on the bride’s face when she sees the fountain in full flow. We enjoy watching guests have fun, laughing at each other with drips of chocolate on their faces! We feel rather priviledged to have a role in making an evening reception memorable.

So for all those reasons, roll on wedding season!

A video that has been around for a couple of years now, but is still proving to be popular. Much like Dawn French in the Vicar of Dibley Christmas special with a chocolate fountain, the wedding first dance video is bound to make to you laugh time and time again.

Thinking about something different for your wedding? Don’t want to have a run-of-the-mill ceremony and reception? Consider chocolate fountain hire to add a sparkle to your day and create lively memories that are captured on our digital cameras.

When planning your wedding first dance, why not do something just a little different?

Weddings, chocolate fountains and dancing – all go together delightfully!

A school prom is a special day where you can celebrate the end of an era with friends, classmates and teachers. A ball or prom is a great excuse to get dressed up, have a once in a lifetime experience such as a limousine lift to the venue. Sample the high life in a glamorous ball gown, tiara and a beautiful ‘up-do’!

Amongst all the celebrations, meal, drinks and fun, why not consider a chocolate fountain at your school prom. The perfect ice-breaker during the evening, encouraging guests to share in the decadent fondue fountain. Trust us, the photos are always something to remember after chocolate fountain hire at a school prom or ball.

Got a certain theme for the evening? Chocolate Fountain Hire offer customised displays with a range of signature LED lighting, sparkles and luxury napkins.

Chocolate Fountain Hire understand the student committees have tight budgets for proms and balls. We therefore try to work within your budget, offering discounts for reduced running times and reduced or no-dip options. Call us for an individual quotation for your summer prom.

Chocolate and cheese – an odd combination? On several occasions, Chocolate Fountain Hire has been asked to provide chunks of cheese as a dip for the chocolate fountain. In the news yesterday, was a Dorset company who make wedding cakes from their local cheese making business.

We have to admit, we like the sound of the cakes! For any unusual dips, we always do some research, asking friends and family to test with the chocolate fountain. Other odd requests have included: pickled onion, celery and chopped carrots.

This makes cheese and chocolate sound quite tame!

A recent study on supermarket chocolate has shown Tesco to be top in terms of chocolate taste. Their bar of dark chocolate beat Green & Blacks and Waitrose in a taste test!

For those with a passion for chocolate, does it matter where you buy your chocolate from? How important is buying organic chocolate?

Chocolate for chocolate fountains is usually Belgian chocolate which is renouned for quality. Supermarket chocolate is not suitable for chocolate fountains contrary to popular belief, as it does not have a high enough cocoa content to melt efficiently.

Contact us if you have any chocolate questions, need advice on which chocolate to go for in a chocolate fountain or simply want to pick our brains.

But, after all, Chocolate is Chocolate. We love it no matter what!

Why not have both? We always take a couple of banana bunches to all our events as, in addition to making the display look pretty, bananas always go down a treat when covered in warm Belgian chocolate.

Try it, we think you’ll love it!

We also took inspiration from Alan Titchmarsh’s show last week (who’d have thought it!), where Rosemary Shrager made a ‘healthy’ chocolate sponge. Guess what we’re making today!  Contact us if you would like the recipe.

Just up our street!

Long live British chocolate!
