    In this video, I'll show you how to set up a chocolate fountain, what kind of chocolate to use, and where to get a chocolate fountain. Please note: the $25 chocolate fountain is no longer available at that price!
    With chocolate fountains, you must melt the chocolate before adding to the fountain. So here are 3 ways to melt chocolate - Instant Pot, over a stove, or in a microwave.
    ___________________________________________________________
    I have listed the recipes for the 2 lb. or 24 oz. chocolate fountains.
    2 lb. Chocolate Fountain Recipe
    18 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
    16.5 ounces milk chocolate chips
    1.5 ounce bittersweet chocolate
    1 1/4 cup cooking oil canola, vegetable, or other neutral tasting
    dipping items
    ___________________________________________________________
    24 oz. Chocolate Fountain Recipe
    12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
    11 ounces milk chocolate chips
    1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
    3/4 cup cooking oil canola, vegetable, or other neutral tasting
    dipping items
    ___________________________________________________________
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Melt the Chocolate - 3 Ways
    INSTANT POT METHOD
    Add a cup of water into the Instant Pot. Press the Saute button and set it to Less mode.
    When the water starts to simmer, place a metal bowl over the Instant Pot. Pour chocolate into it.
    Use a heat safe spatula to stir and melt the chocolate with one hand and while using the other hand to hold the bowl with an oven mitt. Stir until lumps dissolve.
    Slowly pour in the oil and stir until full combined.
    POT METHOD
    In a pot over a stove, pour in water until it's one or 2 inches deep inside the pot. Bring the water to a simmer.
    Next, put chocolate into a heat safe bowl. Make sure bowl is larger than the pot so that it can sit on top of the pot.
    Place bowl over the pot and let it sit on top of the pot. Grab an oven mitt and use one hand to hold the bowl. With the other hand, use a spatula or heat safe utensil to stir the melting chocolate. Stir until lumps dissolve.
    Slowly pour in the oil and stir until full combined.
    MICROWAVE METHOD
    In a heat safe bowl like glass or ceramic, place chocolate inside. Heat bowl of chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time. Stir after each time.
    Keep heating and stirring until no lumps remain. Pour in oil and mix until fully combined.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I'm hosting a Spring Tea at my church in May and I wanted to use my chocolate fountain that my mother-in-law had given me for my wedding reception many years ago. I had never used it myself so I went looking for a video tutorial. I followed all your steps/advice and it worked perfectly. I've tested it out twice now so that I am sure to know how to get it up and running for my tea party in May!! Thank you!!!!

      Glad that I was able to help you. Regarding preparing the chocolate a day ahead, no I wouldn’t do that because the chocolate will harden at room temperature and in the fridge. I have never tried to store the leftover chocolate.

      Hi Lorna, you can but the olive oil flavor might overpower the flavor of the chocolate. If you’re looking for a healthier oil, then you can try grape seed oil, which has a neutral flavor.

      @LivingRichlyonaBudget  6 місяців тому +1

      You need oil for the fountain to run properly and not clump up when going through the pump. (If you’re doing a simple fondue then it doesn’t matter as much.) The oil to chocolate ratio is what is recommended by the chocolate fountain manufacturer. If you look at chocolate melting wafers sold for chocolate fountains, there is a lot of oil in them too. If you don’t believe me, you can try it out yourself in your chocolate fountain.
