Advantages: Fun, sweet, different

Disadvantages: Limited use, a pain to clean

Johnyy Depp is just one of the sexiest men in the world, and Im sure Im not the only woman out there who wouldnt mind a little liason with him, but unfortunatley for me, my M&S Chocolate Fountain is the closest I will ever get to him.....Willy Wonka, get it? Aaah I think I have eaten too much chocolate and it has gone to my brain! Never mind!


Retailing at £19.50, the fountain looks nice and stylish, and wont be out of place in a modern kitchen. You can get special "beans" of Belgian chocolate to melt, or simply your favourite slab of chocolate. You warm it in the base of the melting pot, and then it gets carried to the top of the fountain and spills over to create a quite nice looking effect.

In this melted warm chocolate heaven, you then dip strawberries or marshmallows, and just indulge yourself.

It is a fun thing to do on a night with friends, but it is obviously not an item you will use everyday. Apart from the fact it is obvioulsy not too good on the thighs, what really puts me off the most is that it can be a pain to clean afterwards, but that is not a problem of the manufacturer, merely to do with the fact that mleted chocolate is sticky, and just goes everywhere.

So even though it is a fun item to have, I can see it become one of those white elephants in a cupboard that I will rarely use.
