How to make a chocolate party?

I am making a chocolate party for my 2 year old daughter and looking for a) cool ideas for games for 2 yr olds b) recommendations for either a fondue set or chocolate fountain?How to make a chocolate party?
Games:

Pinata full of chocolates

Put the Hershey's kiss in the mouth (paper cut out of a kiss and a photo of someone, like pin the tail on the donkey)... get it close to the mouth and you get a real Hershey's kiss

Chocolate treasure hunt

Bobbing for something that floats in chocolate... maybe cookies

Chocolate painting - have chocolate in a variety of colours and they "paint" on a cookie or pie crust or something similar

Cookie decorating (or cupcakes)

Guessing games - how many M%26amp;Ms in a jar, etc.

Play Duck, Duck, Goose only make it Smartie, Smartie, M%26amp;M!

Hot Chocolate - like Hot Potato only with a sack of chocolates

Hey :) Wow sounds fun!

Totally go for the choccie fountain the kids would love it. And get some Chocolate ice cream and marshmallows that they can dip into it.

Also go to Asda/walmart or wherever is cheap where your from (Im UK, so I don't know) and buy lots of cheap chocolate or anything chocolaty and set it out nicely on plates with little decorations everywhere. If they are 2 year olds then they won't realize it's cheap stuff, and it keeps the cost down! Decorating it would mean that it looks better.

Gte some chocolate muffins as well, and anything chocolaty you can find.



Games could include pass the parcel with chocolate prizes, you could dangle chocolate from the ceiling and whoever is the first to grab it wins more, a pinata with chocolate, a race where the prize is chocolate, or hide chocolates around the house as a hunt.



Good Luck !How to make a chocolate party?
You could have a jar of M%26amp;Ms (or whatever other chocolate candy) and have each child estimate how many pieces are in the jar. Whoever is closest to the actual number gets the whole jar. I would use a relatively small jar with bigger candies, since at age 2, I don't know how great estimating abilities would be. Plus, you don't want to upset a parent by sending their kid home with a giant jar of chocolate. You could also do a chocolate version of the hot potato game. Instead of passing a potato, pass around a piece of chocolate. Whoever is the last one gets to eat the chocolate. Or as kids get "out" they could eat the piece of chocolate being passed around and then the last one standing gets a better piece of chocolate. You could also have them watch Willy Wonka.
This might be a bit much for a 2 year old, but it looks like fun!!

and only $200 for 200 people!!How to make a chocolate party?
The chocolate fountains are fun but I prefer to make a bunch of little fondues to spread them around so everyone gets a chance to dip and it offers less of a chance for the fountain to knock over.
You should totally get a chocolate fountain! The kids would love it.
