This foundue chocolate fountain is great for small to medium-sized parties. It stands approximately 18 inches hight and holds up to 2 pounds of chocolate when full. The fountain has an elegant stainless steel base and durble heat-resistant plastic tower and auger. The four tiers create a beautiful cascade effect. So easy to use! The fountain can be used "hot" or "cold." Melt your favorite chocolate, nacho cheese, bar-b-que sauce, and more for that traditional fondue tower. Or, run it cold with Ranch salad dressing - without turning on the heat - and have a beautiful veggie dip fountain at your charcuterie table!
