How much chocolate is needed for this particular machine? I have a 16-inch fountain, but it requires 3-4 lbs of chocolate which is great for a party, but I'd like a smaller one for our family of 6. I'm hoping to find one that uses 1-2 lbs...or other...

This machine only worked one time for me, the second time I attempted to use it, it made a loud noise and burned out on me. I am in the process of buying another one myself. I would not recommend this pot after what happened to me....

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.)

We ran it for 6 hours, we added some chocolate when it got low. I suspect it would continue to run until it ran out of chocolate and then it just would rotate the center screw until you turned it off.

Mercken Chocolate is the best -- it is widely available but not at "big box" stores. Go to a confectionary/cake supply place. I do add oil to make sure it flows well.

2 lb of Almond Bark chocolate made about 36 suckers! They turned out really cute. I hope that helps.

Depends on how chocolatey you want it. My family of 5 likes it rich...so we got about 10 mugs out of it. Regular size but not huge mugs. If you don't like it "mucho chocolatey" you should get more.

2 bags of chocolate is what this awesome fountain holds at one time, plus it flows best with this amount. I found the dark and milk chocolate sold at Bed Bath and Beyond store for only $7.99/ 2lb bag. This chocolate is specific for fondues and fountains, so it is as easy to pour out of bag, into a bowl, into the microwave, then pour yummy chocolate into fountain. Good luck and enjoy! 😊

I've always used chocolate chips - since I prefer dark chocolate, I use a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate pieces. I don't remember the exact recipe (I think there's one included), but you do have to add some oil to it, to keep the chocolate "running" through the machine! I melt mine in the microwave. I bought mine for my daughter's HS Senior Drill Team Squad party and it's still going strong 8 years later! You can even wash it in the top rack of the dishwasher, but to tell you the truth, I've always hand washed - didn't want to clog up the dishwasher filter. Good Luck!

The fountain holds up to 4 lbs. of chocolate and can serve 35-40 people if it is the main the dessert. You can also add melted chocolate to it if you need to serve more people. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

I use 1-2 TB per 8 ounces depending on how strong you want it. Sometimes I like to add a little milk for richness then I might use a little extra mix so it is nice a dark. I like my cocoa strong flavored

I use at LEAST a shot glass of this syrup per blender full of margarita. I think i would order 2 of the 3 packs or contact them they may sell a bigger size. This stuff is amazing people at your party will rave! the last thought I have is that the syrup really clings to the side of whatever you measure with so try to plan for that or let it all drip out.

Do you mean the life span? Or in one sitting? I've had mine for over two years now still working fine. I use it mainly for holidays though. No constant weddings. In one setting my wife and I guessed we ran it around 4-5 hrs no problem. We just kept adding chocolate and always clean it after. It could have kept running fine I'm sure we were just done using it. In other responses...I'm sure 6 hrs would be fine.

I am not really sure since I have only used mine in a chocolate fountain and that keeps the chocolate melted until you have eaten it all!!!

What is your question? You asked "Have a few chocolate contains?" I'm not sure what you are asking. It's one large chocolate frog. Like in the movie only larger. Hope this helps.
