Hi Richard! I totally recommend this product! it is of great, heavy duty quality and will make chocolate just fine! I used my grinder for making delicious coconut butter and chocolate. Worked like a champ! I have only used mine maybe 5 times and will selling it for a decent price if interested. I have moved onto Fruitarianism and have no use for my grinder. Let me know if interested. Have a pleasant day, Jay

I am sorry that I don't keep track--they do require A LOT of chocolate--more than the small molds, but they are always such a big hit!!. I am still perfecting the process since I am experimenting with EXACTLY how much chocolate to put in each mold because last time, the chocolate was too thick on top. I filled it about 1/2-2/3 full. It takes practice, but I then decorate the top with a squiggle of chocolate. The good thing is you can just make 1 or 2 for experiment purposes. I THINK the bark chocolate (white or chocolate sold at Wal-mart, etc) is a better deal if you are making a lot. Sorry I could not be more helpful!

I always mix it with a mug of milk I microwaved for 2 minutes and put some mini marshmallows on top. Nothing better!! If you like mint, drop a few mint chocolate chips in and mix well for a change.

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

I would try the recipe with half all-purpose, except I use unbleached white and do the other half with a whole wheat flour and see how it turns out. Good Luck!!

I have made a variety of raw chocolate treats with this brand. I can honestly say all have come out successfully. Depending upon what you are making, and the other ingredients used, and the process, will all play a factor in the quality and success of the result of the finished product. So try it for yourself. I think you will be pleased.

probably not very well. it seems to work best as a guacamole maker (you know: stuff you can add a little liquid to?) or salsa, or pickles for tuna salad. it is pretty small. it specifically says chopping chocolate is a bad idea; probably due to it potentially scratching the plastic.dry stuff like nuts comes out very unevenly chopped; but hey, i likes it just fine. maybe a more industrial (and more expensive) food processor is what you're needin'.

What I usually do is take a big thick paint brush and dust it out as much as possible. I only use mine for white ingredients (flour, icing sugar) not cocoa learned my lesson on that. I also use a damp paper towel to get the underside clean. It can be a pain but the product is worth it.

No on chocolate chips, but I have used SMALL berries (dried) without problems. This dispenser is NOT 4 think cookie style batters but can easily handle mix style "quick breads" like cranberry orange

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

My wife uses it most often and she says she has used it 2-3 hours with the cheaper chocolate wafers and as long as the chocolate remains at a usable level there is no problem. Hope it helps.

I used it to make panda faces on cupcakes, I wanted "white" for the face- it is tiny sugar crystals of white sugar- like the kind of colored sugar you put on Christmas cookies! only white

I just made a chocolate cake in mine using 1 box of cake mix, it came out great, but, I thinknext time I will use 2 boxes to make it higher. it is a deep pan.

I am not sure if this will work with chocolate. And the machine gets hot if it runs for too long or is worked too hard. The tasks i use it for are done in 20 min

I've made a couple of batches of chocolate chip cookies and it did very well. Yeast biscuits provided no problem with it. The only time it bogged down was when I was making fondant.

I am also curious to find unprocessed raw chocolate powder (butter) to make my own chocolate. so far none :(
