How much chocolate would you recommend I buy for a graduation party of around 80 people?

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!

First - always make sure your fountain is leveled wherever you place it. Use Sephora Chocolate only. This is especially made for use with fountains. While other chocolate will work once you thin it with oil, this chocolate is far superior in quality and taste. All you need to do is gently warm it in the microwave to soften the chips, and massage until smooth (2 mins.). I did a baby shower with about 40+ people and we used 4 bags+. Do not let the fountain run low or it will start to spit out chocolate.

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 am so sorry I did not answer you sooner you must think I am terrible but if you haven't order yet I would estimate it would definitely satisfy 20-25 people or young adults . Now children that's a different story I ordered mine for a baby shower for my daughter and when my nephew and a couple other young children saw it they wanted to tear into it they just loved it . Actually everyone did just like I knew they would . It was a perfect center piece for the hand did chocolates my daughters made themselves . I hope this helps you out . Kimberly H.

depends on what you are using them for I'm not using them for food these are my wedding favor cups each one will have 2 of the thank you/mr. & mrs. mints and 2 chocolates.If I would use them for a food item, like a dessert, sorbet, or fruit cream or individual spreads dip cups, etc. I'd say 1 tbsp. - 1 1/2 tbsp. or 1/2 scoop should do nicely and not be too full or too empty.

We used it for a wedding with 50 guests so I would safely say if doing snack size maybe 75-100

Hi, Yes this unit worked great for our small company party of about 30 people. Remember you must always heat chocolate in microwave prior to putting in the fountain as stated in instructions on chocolate and on fountain.

It's been almost 2 years ago & I don't remember how many of each. I believe they tell you how many suckers & how many ounces come with it. If i were to guess I'd say 20-25 people if you r using it as a candy bar or to let people goody bags.

This one is perfect for a small gathering or for family only, 2lbs top is all that is required for family of 4 plus a couple guests. When it is just us as a family 1lb of chocolate is all that is needed for us. I know that the fountain doesnt work when the chocolate gets low but by that time we are pretty stuffed anyway HAHAHA.

Lindt is a very good chocolate. But Lily"s is superb....I bought it for Christmas gifts and the people loved it....I did too. See's Candy is a great chocolate too.

I used mine at a party for about 85-90 people. Obviously not everyone at a party that size will get into the chocolate, and the fountain did a great job. I ran it continuously for nearly 3 hours. If you use a chocolate that requires the addition of oil, prepare it ahead of time so you're not pouring vast quantities of oil in the fountain before your guests' eyes. :)

I would say a tube per person should be enough, but maybe get 5 total (one extra)... that way if you run a little short you won't regret it. It doesn't have an expiration date so you can always save any leftover for later!

I bought the chocolate Good to Go bars. These have 8g of sugar per bar. (Also, 17g carb, 3g dietary fiber, and 9g protein.)

I would GUESS somewhere between 80 and 110,it is a good sized tin of chocolates and toffees.As someone who frequently ate the original Mackintoshes Quality Street I found the Nestle version didn't really measure up to the originals.

Thanks Charles! I chose strawberry then and still love it. It's about to finish so your comment is useful now if not then :D . This time I will check out chocolate peanut butter. Take care..

Chocolate would be better, as it has a little more of a warm hue. You can lightly apply it so it's not a dark and heavy colored brown. There is an Auburn shade from ABH that will be restocked here soon, that would be THE best color you could go with above all, though.

I think there could be 50 or so. They are the best chocolate candy combo ever. The best caramel and when salted, the best candy I've ever had. Definitely worth buying.
