My one and only exposure to a chocolate fountain was at a wedding
reception at a Niagara winery restaurant. I remember the groom
being excited about the prospect of the chocolate shower
There was a dessert buffet following the after dinner reception
line. I think the idea was for people to have *a* dessert, since
they were full size servings of pies and cakes, plus fruit
platters and the chocolate fountain. I saw some people taking
several desserts and then going over and showering the entire
plate with chocolate. It was gross.
