Do you have to add oil to the chocolate pellets when melting the chocolate?

No, I just microwaved them til they were almost melted and poured it in as we needed it. It was great tasting and worked great in the fountain!

No, you don't need to add any oil. That is one of the best things about this chocolate!

No oil was needed. I highly recommend this chocolate. It came with two bags and I only used one. Plenty of delicious chocolate. Glad you asked a question, I'm buying another bag to take to a my brother's bbq party for Memorial day weekend since I'm responsible to bring dessert : )

Yes, i melted chocolate chips and used this mold. The mold worked great! You can't tell in the picture, but they even have ridges... very funny! I recommend using better chocolate so they don't melt in your hand.

Yes. I made almond butter and chocolate. Like the first responder says, it's best to grind ingredients with a food processor or a coffee grinder first. The almond butter came out fine. When left a few days, a lot of oil came to the top.

There is no indication anywhere on the bottles so I'm not sure what the official answer is. That said, I do believe that I put it in the microwave for 2 or 3 20 second clips in an attempt to melt chocolate. It worked but the bottle got very soft and very hot so I wouldn't recommend microwaving on a regular basis.

As long as there are no additives in the pellets. I have been using sawdust and olive oil pellets, twigs, fatwood, whatever. The thing runs great!

I turn the heater on and then stirrer, cut the corner of the oil part of the premixed package. If the premixed package oil side is pretty solidified I will add it and wait until it starts to melt before adding the kernel side. (but only need to do this for first batch) If its still oil then I dump in oil and then kernels no waiting necessary.

Yes! I used them after we did the chocolate bricks for jello and it worked fine. Just let the jello cool a bit so it's not boiling hot when you pour it in. But not too long. ..a couple minutes tops.

Yes I have. I melted the cocoa butter and mixed with shea butter, coconut oil and other natural oils and made lotion.

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.)

Don't see why not...and a better cake it will be! I substituted the cacao powder for cocoa in brownies, baked with coconut oil and part coconut flour: heaven. Need I say more? Enjoy!

no this item does not melt the chocolate. I had to google the recipe for chocolate fondue. It is tollhouse morsels and vegetable oil to keep it liquid...

Nope, this oil is almost completely melted at room temp and if it isn't the touch of your hands will melt it perfectly fine. It has a very low melting point, you can slather it on right out of the jar.

If you mean to use the mold for chocolate, you have to add little amount of shortining to chocolate while melting. But if you use it for fondant or sugar paste, it won't break.

I make it with the peanut oil, the peanut oil isn't bad for you & it makes it easier to mix.

I don't know i have never put oil in it.i only use it for Cheese & Chocolate.

Absolutely!! Just make SURE that you don't use too much. I did and I had to keep adding cacao powder! Be careful too when it's in the double boiler as it melts quickly. My chocolate turned out yummy!!

I have not tried it with chocolate. But, It should be no problem. The right temperature range would be the most important aspect. You would not want it to cool or the chocolate will start to set in the funnel.I bought this, primarly to use with isomalt. But, with my production schedule, have not got to use it yet.
