For the first time the rich indulgent experience of flowing chocolate can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. Friends and family will delight at the rich aroma of warm chocolate cascading down the fountain and thus dip fruits, marshmallows, biscuits and other dipping foods to create chocolate covered delicacies.

Just fill the base with melted chocolate, turn on the motor and experience pure chocolate heaven!  Warm belgian chocolate (or any chocolate for that matter!) is carried to the top of the fountain where it cascades down, forming a flowing curtain of delicious chocolate. You can dip whatever you want into the chocolate - as long as it goes on a stick it will be okay!!

The Funky Chocolatiere is sure to cheer up even the most down trodden soul. The Chocolatiere pot is a deliciously chocolate colour with funky coloured flowers and spots. The pot has as an integrated frother, which makes the perfect creamy hot chocolate from either powder or real chocolate. To compliment the pot are two matching mugs.

We can thank Montezuma for introducing the Conquistadors to the delights of drinking chocolate. The Aztecs drank chocolate in a bitter form and Emperor Montezuma introduced Hernan Cortez to the tasty drink who then took it back to Spain with the addition of sugar and vanilla to sweeten the brew. This is the origins of the hot chocolate we love and cherish today.

This fine Belgian Milk Chocolate is specially formulated for use in the Chocolate Fountain (click here), although it’s also delicious to eat on its own.

With the latest diet fads on the front page of every magazine, you can now turn to chocolate to make you feel good! Giles & Posner’s fondue chocolate has nutritional benefits and natural ingredients that make it a healthier alternative to most other chocolates that tend to be laced with oils and calories. Their chocolate contains no vegetable fats or hydrogenated oils, only natural flavours and colourings, so not only does it look good, but it tastes amazing.

Cocoa butter is quite expensive so it’s often only high quality chocolate, such as the luxury chocolate blended by Giles & Posner, which contains high amounts of cocoa butter. Other brands will replace cocoa butter with milk fats and hydrogenated oils which are bad for your health. The chocolate has the perfect balance with nutritional benefits and the added bonus of being gluten free and suitable for vegetarians.

The Chocolate Time Chocolatiere lets you create great tasting chocolate sweets at home.

Chocolate is conventionally melted on the stove top. The chocolate hardens the second the pot is taken off the stove, and much of the chocolate goes to waste. The Chocolatiere is different, because it’s an electric chocolate melting pot, so the chocolate stays melted and soft. You don’t need to boil water, or turn your stove on. It can be used as an electric fondue and looks great on a table with a selection of fruit and sweets to tempt your guests, or you.
