Does it melt the chocolate?

It keeps it melted, melt it first in the microwave per the directions. It's a great little machine. Just make sure and clean it out really well when you're done so the chocolate doesn't harden and ruin it. Great buy, love this little machine. I used it for my parents wedding vow renewal and everyone really enjoyed it.

You put the bag of chocolate in the microwave for two minutes and it will be ready to go on your fountain.....

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.

I only used Wilton candy melts and I didn't have a problem. It did take a little more time for the white and colored melts to melt than the chocolate ones. They also seem to set a little faster.

I have melted chocolate in the bags but not mething really hot. I don't know if you could hold on to the bag if something were that warm.

Yes, I have, and it does work. One problem with some graters is that the chocolate melts from the friction of grating. It also depends on the chocolate... No cheese grater is perfect for chocolate, but this one will do the job.

Yes! I use one of the small round tips to drizzle melted chocolate on my biscotti. I melt the chocolate right in the bag in my microwave before I put the tip on. If the chocolate is too thick you can add paramount crystals, available on Amazon and the chocolate will be smoother. I have this problem with white chocolate.

The chocolate will not harden it will be gooey. It tastes great and will be good if you are just having your guests dip it and eat it right away.

Hi Gary, you still have to heat the Chocolate in the microwave to soften it, it stays warm enough to keep the fountain flowing I had it running for about 3 hours with no issues. I was very pleased with the product.

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.

It uses an auger to raise the chocolate, and we used very good chocolate from a candy making store, so it is quality chocolate that is made to melt and flow smoothly. Even with the added oil, the taste was quite good.

No I don't think so but I have never used it in that manner. I use it as a double boiler for melting chocolate for our holiday treats

Nope it doesn't. I think however they do have a chocolate flavor version of it!

Well before putting chocolate in mold should have lightly sprayed with cooking spray. But if stuck can place just the bottom of tray into a bowl of hot water for just a few seconds at a time. Only want to melt chocolate enough to release from tray, not melt your chess piece. Hope this helps.

If you use the warm and melt feature you can dip the chocolate out and spoon it into the mold but it can be a bit messy.

I used it to make both chocolate and poured sugar lollies, but the poured sugar does cloud the plastic (but not distort it). I made the poured sugar first and then the chocolate ones. Both turned out fine. You should fill to the VERY top though, because the stick placement is kind of high in the back of the lolly.

After the fountain has preheated (10 minutes), pour in the melted chocolate and turn the knob to "flow." Requires 4# of choc. Make sure it's level on the counter. Hope that helps!

This is the mold. You can melt candy melts and pour them into the mold to get colors or you can temper chocolate and use.

Yes, you can use this on tempered chocolate. Spray it first with a bit of cooking spray & pour in your melted chocolate. It makes beautiful bi-colored chocolate if you're so inclined. I tinted some almond bark & scraped it into the crevices. I popped in the refrigerator for a few minutes and then came back and spread some untinted almond bark over it and put it back in the refrigerator for a couple more minutes. I've also used a white/dark combo with great results. It pops right out after a couple of minutes in the refrigerator and it shows the intricate designs very well. Good luck! :)
