will the chocolate harden after it stops flowing or does it stay soft

Yes it hardens and tastes wonderful! My wife had to hide the extras because I kept eating them like oversized chocolate chips....

It does get hard, not very pliable but it holds great smells good and is easily washed out with a quick rinse of water, I tried running a comb through it after it's been on for a couple hours and couldn't do it. Hope this answers your question.

I'm pretty sure they'll stay with their shape as long as the chocolate isn't too hot. However, I still wouldn't use but a very few on pretzels because they are larger. I'd still stick to smaller sprinkles for comfort of eating.

Hi- I just had this fountain at a two-day Bridal and Wedding Show and had it going continuously for 6 - 7 hours each day. It worked great! I just microwaved the chocolate/oil mixture in the crock part of the crock pot, and transported it to the Show that way. I was able to take it home after the first day and just throw it in the dishwasher. I used less than 10lbs of chocolate between the two days, and never ran out. It was quite a draw - especially for the little girls who were modeling Wedding attire. They loved poking little marshmallows with toothpicks and getting them all drippy with the chocolate. Awesome!

It's a "soft" solid. In a cool place, it's hard, and when warm, it becomes liquid. Either way, cleaning properties are not affected.

We have used the fountain continuously for 5 or 6 hours no problems. We just make sure the chocolate level is always where it is supposed to be. Once the chocolate gets low the fountain doesn't work as well or even stops.

mine stayed tacky for a few days, needs hot sun to bake it for a while. It will harden eventually, and look great. I used it on a home made picnic table, applied 3 coats. this stuff is amazing.

Hey, sorry, I didn't see this earlier. I stored it in the fridge, and no it's not messy. Once stored in the fridge, it hardens a bit, but once taken out, it thaws out after a half an hour. My little niece also took it to school a few times lol, and it didn't melt or anything. If you want to know anything else, just let me know.

I guess you could use it without the heat as long as it is in a liquid form, not too thick. The heat is to prevent the chocolate from becoming hard or thick. One way to know, try it.

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie

The chocolate is warm and flowing in the fountain. After the leftover chocolate was stored in the refrigerator, it hardened very well. It may drip off of your treats before it hardens. It is best used for chocolates eaten right after dunking.

It hardens. I am allergic to 1 of the ingredients so couldn't use but gave to friend. Note: this is a TEMPORARY FIX until you can get dentures relined at dentist. I seem to recall 2 weeks but my friend has been doing her own with this stuff for more than a year

We used Hershey bars which taste better. :-) it took about 15 min. in the fridg to harden.

It gets warm, but not hot. It would keep the more liquidy form of caramel warm enough to dunk, but if your speaking in terms of caramel candy..no way. It takes over an hour to melt chocolate as it is. It also says up to 72 minutes right in the manual so they have no shame in the products inability to work right from start. It's better to use for keeping things warm (pre-melted candies).

i was in the chocolate business and used the 10lb blocks. i use this for bark and to top chocolate turtles. it is very good tasting when melted. i cn recommend it for flvor and texture.

I used this fondant for my daughter's birthday cake. I LOVED the way it rolled out and became very pliable, and it tasted SO much better than the wilton stuff. However, when it came using the fondant for cutouts (I had star wars cookie cutters and wanted to use fondant for the shapes) it was really soft. Maybe I had just worked it for too long, I don't know. I ended up using wilton for the decorations. Maybe you could put it in the fridge for awhile before you tried making figures? That might help.
