Would this chocolate work well to melt in the microwave and dip pretzels or cake pops in (or is it too loose)?

Yes, as stated this chocolate is excellent for dipping after being microwaved

I think it would work well. It definitely world better than the baking chocolate I got from the grocery store!

I did not use this chocolate for that purpose specifically, but I think it would work well. It melts quite easily in the microwave if you stir it frequently. I used in a chocolate fountain, where you dip things (like pretzels) and they were easily cover in chocolate. It does solidify quickly without a heat source though.

I own a bakery and use this chocolate for dipping everything! Helpful hint...put your cookie sheet in the fridge or freezer and get it really cold before you start dipping things and laying it on the cookie sheet. This helps the chocolate harden quicker before it starts to fall off the pretzel.

Yes it would...I had a bunch leftover from using in a chocolate fountain, so I put it in a Tupperware and melted it again the next week and used for strawberries and pretzels. I think it would work well for cake pops too.

I would think that's too thick and you wouldn't have even control but never tried it. Not sure I'd want to clean up after either. I'd do fudge/chocolate in a pan and drizzle from a spoon or fork depending on desired effect.

probably not very well. it seems to work best as a guacamole maker (you know: stuff you can add a little liquid to?) or salsa, or pickles for tuna salad. it is pretty small. it specifically says chopping chocolate is a bad idea; probably due to it potentially scratching the plastic.dry stuff like nuts comes out very unevenly chopped; but hey, i likes it just fine. maybe a more industrial (and more expensive) food processor is what you're needin'.

Amazon sent this question to me. I use this product as food. it is chocolate without cocoa powder. As for moisture function, I guess that if you don't want to mix it with other stuff you may melt a piece in your hand and apply wherever you want. How does chocolate get melt? I tried holding a piece between two hands. it worked. I think that to find a better way to use it you may want to do a google search. I am sorry that this is not a help.

We melted in microwave and then like massaged the bag and then within five minutes we poured it into the fountain. Not sure how long it can sit because we used it immediately. Awesome tasting chocolate everyone raved about it!!!!

No. They do not melt like chocolate chips, they are crunchy. It would be VERY different. I use them on top of my greek yogurt along with granola. They are kind of an acquired taste, it took me a little while to get used to them!

I've never tried to dip and then let sit. The chocolate works great on just about everything. I'm not sure about how it would set after dipping. I'd suggest trying it on something first just to experiment. The chocolate heats great in a small dish in the microwave. You can heat up as little as you want. Good luck.

I would not try to use this pan for cake pops. It is a great pan...just not for pops.

I'm sure you could, We made chocolate and it turned out very smooth, Nut butter would probably turn out good. You would probably want to pre-grind the nuts a little but cause large pieces can bind the machine up. the texture you get would probably be close to nuttella as opposed to peanut butter.

I always mix it with a mug of milk I microwaved for 2 minutes and put some mini marshmallows on top. Nothing better!! If you like mint, drop a few mint chocolate chips in and mix well for a change.

I have melted chocolate in mine directly. What I found that worked was to use PAM spray in the fondue pot first. It doesn't need a lot, just a little so that it doesn't melt and burn. If you are in a hurry, then go ahead and pre-melt it. I also put a little cream, or whatever liquid you want to melt with it, and it worked fine. I have been a fondue lover for many years, and am on my third fondue pot! Good luck and enjoy your chocolate!

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.

I have used it in the microwave, and unfortunately it did not hold up well. It showed signs of melting after the first use. So now I just heat in a microwave safe dish and then place heated food inside.I have used it for chips, but the container size determines how many chips you can get in. Lately, I have been just buying pretzel sticks because it's easy to place them in than chips.

Nope, i was under the impression it would when i bought it. You have to melt the chocolate in the microwave. The heating element in this machine cant even keep the chocolate melted...id go with a much more expensive one that is geared more toward commercial use. I hate this thing!

depends on how thick your chocolate is and how many cakes your topping with a drizzle.it is.not good for frosting. and if your chocolate is thin you have to move very fast.i find it good for drizzling four cakes but not for one.for one cake use i serving spoon.it saves time on clean up. it is great for filling cup cake tins regular or mini

I didn't like this chocolate it was very greasy. It has hydrogenated fat in it. Not sure if it would be good for peanut butter balls. I do know it leaves a greasy film in your mouth. It probably has to be that way to melt in the fountains. Also, it says chocolate flavored I don't think it is real chocolate.
