Choosing the Right Skewers for Your Chocolate Fountain

Beauty is in the details, and choosing the right skewer is one that shouldn't be overlooked. Sephra has several skewer choices that complement chocolate fountains, and with the right skewer, guests can think only about how delicious the chocolate is - instead of feeling frustrated by losing food to a substandard dipping method, like toothpicks.

Wood Skewers

Sephra offers wood and bamboo skewer options. The wood skewers are disposable, yet highly functional with two prongs for firmly attaching dipping treats and keeping them in place during the chocolate dipping process. These skewers are both economical and lend casual events a bit of sophistication.

The bamboo skewers are equally functional with sharpened ends that will keep any dipping treat secure, but are also durable enough to be used with meat for kabobs. Bamboo is a trendy material since it's an environmentally friendly wood. They also have a more sophisticated appearance and are perfect for any type of party.

Plastic Skewers

Plastic doesn't mean cheap or flimsy - at least in the case of Sephra's plastic fondue skewers. You can order them in clear frosted or black plastic, depending on the type of event being hosted. The clear frosted skewers are perfect for daytime or casual events, while the black skewers lend a hint of elegance to evening parties. These skewers have the added benefit of being reusable as long as they are washed and sanitized properly. They have two prongs perfect for spearing dipping treats and making sure they emerge from the chocolate perfectly on the skewer.

Flavored Skewers

Lay out these delicious skewers beside the fruit platters and watch as guests enjoy the flavors of cinnamon or tropical fruit. These flavored skewers only add a hint of extra flavor and won't overpower the fruit or chocolate. The cinnamon skewers pair well with peaches, pineapple, strawberries and apples and are fat free and sugar free. The tropical fruit flavored skewers complement pears, bananas, strawberries and apples and are also sugar and fat free. A little extra indulgence, therefore, will not result in additional guilt! These skewers are fun and lighthearted additions to less formal events, although who could resist a little extra flavor, even at a black tie affair?

Metal Skewers

Finally, Sephra offers a set of six metal skewers, ideal for small gatherings with family or friends. They also have color coded tips to ensure they each spear a separate dipping treat without mixing flavors. This is handy if you have one for fruit and a separate one for marshmallows, for example, where you might not want the fruit juices to mix with the marshmallows.

Forego toothpicks or forks and choose one of these fondue skewers designed to hold up to dipping food items into chocolate fountains, and your event will shine in its attention to details.
