61 Things to Include in a Chocolate Fountain (or Fondue)

If you’ve recently put up a chocolate fountain for a special occasion, you’re probably wondering what to dip in chocolate fountain. There are several possibilities, but not all of them are suitable. Anything that is excessively moist, contains crumbs, or has the potential to leave powder behind is not viable. Watermelon, most cakes, and all powdered doughnuts are now off the list!

Thus, to help you get the most out of your chocolate fountain, here’s my definitive list of things to dip in a chocolate fountain.

What Foods Can You Dip in the Chocolate Fountain?

I’ve included hundreds of items to dip in a chocolate fountain below, but you’ll want to be creative, as will your visitors. One advice I have for any occasion with children is to have them build dunkabobs to prevent them from re-dunking things they have bitten into. One solution is to use little paper cups to collect their chocolate, or small paper boats to store all of their dippables in.
