Learn the in’s and out’s of setting up a chocolate fondue fountain for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, celebrations, or just for fun.
In this video, I’ll show you how to set up a chocolate fountain, what kind of chocolate to use, and where to get a chocolate fountain. Please note: the $25 chocolate fountain is no longer available at that price! But I recommend another one: https://bit.ly/30EVO20
With chocolate fountains, you must melt the chocolate before adding to the fountain. So here are 3 ways to melt chocolate – Instant Pot, over a stove, or in a microwave.
Also, if you would like to SKIP THE STEP OF MIXING DIFFERENT CHOCOLATES, just get chocolate fountain melting chips to make life easier. No extra oil is needed for these. Buy here: https://amzn.to/3coCjNB

INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the Chocolate – 3 Ways
INSTANT POT METHOD
Add a cup of water into the Instant Pot. Press the Saute button and set it to Less mode.
When the water starts to simmer, place a metal bowl over the Instant Pot. Pour chocolate into it.
Use a heat safe spatula to stir and melt the chocolate with one hand and while using the other hand to hold the bowl with an oven mitt. Stir until lumps dissolve.
Slowly pour in the oil and stir until full combined.
POT METHOD
In a pot over a stove, pour in water until it’s one or 2 inches deep inside the pot. Bring the water to a simmer.
Next, put chocolate into a heat safe bowl. Make sure bowl is larger than the pot so that it can sit on top of the pot.
Place bowl over the pot and let it sit on top of the pot. Grab an oven mitt and use one hand to hold the bowl. With the other hand, use a spatula or heat safe utensil to stir the melting chocolate. Stir until lumps dissolve.
Slowly pour in the oil and stir until full combined.
MICROWAVE METHOD
In a heat safe bowl like glass or ceramic, place chocolate inside. Heat bowl of chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time. Stir after each time.
Keep heating and stirring until no lumps remain. Pour in oil and mix until fully combined.

I’m going to try this on Valentine’s Day using my fountain for the first time
Is the plastic supposed to heat up?
Can you use water instead of oil or a other oil
??
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm hosting a Spring Tea at my church in May and I wanted to use my chocolate fountain that my mother-in-law had given me for my wedding reception many years ago. I had never used it myself so I went looking for a video tutorial. I followed all your steps/advice and it worked perfectly. I've tested it out twice now so that I am sure to know how to get it up and running for my tea party in May!! Thank you!!!!
11:29 "There's just something so satisfying about dipping food in chocolate.." Lol.
Hi Fanny, from Elvie and David. 🙂
Thank u so much ☺️ I have my fountain still in the box never used it before it’s been sitting on top of my fridge for like 3 yrs because the set up was a bit confusing
I didn't expect the machine to be so loud.
Didn’t even show the pretzel
Did she say 3/4 cup of oil or 3 to 4 cups of oil
We asian,like oil in our meal
Sawit oil is easy tohave in here,milk is cosy in asian
I’ve been using your recipe for a lot of parties and it has been a huge hit. I had no idea what I was doing before this, Ty!
Olá boa noite. Sou do Brasil.
Para 1 kilo de chocolate quanto de óleo e qual óleo? Obrigado.
Thank you
Very informative
Pa
Thank you
Do you find the noise bothers you for parties
Coconut oil would be better.
This was very helpful. What should I do if it is a large party and I might need to refill halfway through?

Thank you for making this video! Just bought a chocolate fountain, but couldn't find any instruction video from the manufacturer, so this was very helpful 👍
