how much would be good in making hot chocolate?

According to some, a good ratio is 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for every cup of liquid, with 1-2 Tbsp of sweetener. Others suggest a heaping Tbsp of cocoa/slightly over a Tbsp sweetener/cup of liquid.

It would be fine. We had around 40 people at our party and had plenty of chocolate left. I bought 4 bags to go with it and only used 1. Be sure when you melt your chocolate use the Defrost button on microwave. It works Great!

I haven't made hot chocolate in it but make hot chai latte. The chai tea I use is liquid. I just put half chai and half milk, pour each one in the machine and turn it on. It will spin, warm and froth the chai for me. Great stuff!

I bought one from Hardin's in January 2014 for $4.59 I see that the people selling 'em for $57 say they're selling a pack of 12. If I multiply $4.59 * 12, I get $55.08 which is $2.29 (less than the price of one) more than $52.79 So, I'm guessing 12 ...and, now I'm thinking about Chocolate.

hello... there are 15 sachets per box, just like the hot chocolate/cocoa; and entire sachet should be used in one mug of about 6 to 8 oz of water, depending on how 'strong' you like. cheers...

It can make hot chocolate and will heat the mixture just fine. If you get foam from the milk will depend a lot on the milk you are using and when you add the concentrated coffee. I'd recommend foaming the milk and adding the coffee concentrate about 2/3 of the way through after you already have some nice foam from the milk. There is a pour in spot in the lid so adding mid process isn't hard.

I have been using it for hot chocolate since I bought it and have had no problems.

I have never used it for hot chocolate but I used it in place of regular coca powder. I also use it to make smoothies and everyone, kids included love it. My kids are 12, 14 and 21. I have been using it for a year now for different things.

for one cup, mix the cocoa (2TB) with about 2 TB brown sugar and 1 TB water first then add 1 cup milk and heat until it starts to boil. Add a splash of vanilla at the end. Just experiment, my measurements may be off a little.

Absolutely would make a great tasting hot cocoa sweetened with honey--kids would love it!

Yes indeed. It does a great job of keeping hot beverages hot. I have also used it for Pina Coladas and the only limiting factor is the diameter of the siphon tube which limits the size of any crushed ice you can dispense. Hot chocolate should not be a problem unless you put the marshmallows in it when you put it in the air pot instead of putting the marshmallows in the hot chocolate after you dispense it into your mug!

There's 2g sugar in the Diet Hot Cocoa Mix and 24 calories, 7g sugar and 60 calories in the No Sugar Added Hot Cocoa Mix, and 9g sugar and 90 calories in the Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix Also make it with 2% or 1% milk it makes a big difference than using just water as far as taste goes but calories and carbs come into play.

I just reread the book. You need to start with at least 1 lb. It doesn't state how much chocolate you need to get it going. It also recommends using Sephra chocolate because you don't need to add oil to it. You can melt the chocolate directly in the basin 1 lb at a time but it takes 45-60 minutes. You can also microwave Sephra chocolate in it's special bags or in a double boiler on the stove. Good luck.

I bought three pounds for a party of 15 people; And we had some chocolate left, but not too much; I would suggest that you warm up the fountain at least 30 minutes before.. it needs to be really warm, as well as the chocolate, though the chocolate shouldn't be that warm, but liquid-- so as to have the chocolate moving through the fountain for a longer time. And I wouldn't use oil as the recepie says, I would use cream, or half-half. Good luck!

It's packed away, so I can't access it right now, but I'm thinking about 1 cup. Once you get going and the chocolate reaches optimal temperature, added chocolate melts almost immediately (as long as you don't dump in a large amount at once.)

It just heats and mixes the hot chocolate. You add in the milk and cocoa mix and it heats it to the perfect temp.

You could make chocolate from powder that you place in cup and stream hot milk out of machine on it. There is not a way to have anything but milk or coffee in the machine itself. My kids do this a lot and it is tasty.
