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!!!!

So glad you found this helpful! Have extra melted chocolate available. Then when you need it, warm it up in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, until it’s liquid again.

I saw a chocolate fountain and thought to myself. I don’t need a fountain. Now hearing the loud motor, I really don’t need a fountain. Chocolate melter is suffice.

Thank you for this recipe. Could I use butter instead of oil maybe?

If it’s the chocolate labeled for chocolate fountains, then it has the oil already in it.

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.

However, I have to prepare it tonight and hopefully I can just heat up again the next morning easily and bring it out to enjoy with kids.

@ms.laisclassroom812 Glad it turned out well for you! That’s a good question about washing! I had to use wet paper towels to wipe off the chocolate first, then wash. Yes, washing it is the hardest part.

What was the point of turning of them waiting 30 seconds ? Also my fountain runs for like 5 min then just stops. Any advice?

The chocolate fountain instructions say to turn off and wait for 30 seconds. If your fountain stops after 5 minutes, I would contact the manufacturer.

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.

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.

Wow that's a lot of oil you put in...!! Wow. I guess that is what you need. I am a novice but I would think that that much oil would make the chocolate not taste good.
