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!
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.

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.

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!!!!
Yay! That’s exciting! Also glad you got to test it out before the party.
I am going to use my fountain for the first time and the instructions are a bit confusing, this was very clear and helps alot! Thank you!
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!
Yay! Glad I could help!
Thanks for the recipe
Aww thanks this is the video I need to see 😍
11:29 "There's just something so satisfying about dipping food in chocolate.." Lol.
Good job i try this is testing is so YUM
And thank you so much ❤💙
Thank you!
The Best food my frind, good vdo and like it good day
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 👍
Awesome! Glad my video helped you!
thanks!!
Very informative
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 bet that tast good😋
Thank you
very nice
Really helpful thank you for this
I’m going to try this on Valentine’s Day using my fountain for the first time
You might want to try it out beforehand to test it out so you get the hang of it.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget I certainly will
I love your bangs 😊
great video, those are the prettiest strawberries i’ve ever seen!
I just got a chocolate fountain and the recipe with the skewers for Mother’s Day it all came out to 55$
This was very helpful. What should I do if it is a large party and I might need to refill halfway through?
So glad you found this helpful! Have extra melted chocolate available. Then when you need it, warm it up in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, until it’s liquid again.
If i buy the chocolate on the bags for fountain do i need to add oil to them too or they come with oil?
If it’s the chocolate labeled for chocolate fountains, then it has the oil already in it.
I saw a chocolate fountain and thought to myself. I don’t need a fountain. Now hearing the loud motor, I really don’t need a fountain. Chocolate melter is suffice.
Thank you for this recipe. Could I use butter instead of oil maybe?
I don’t think butter would work because it would burn.
You actually can use butter but get butter that doesn’t have salt because that will affect the taste of the chocolate
You can use butter
What was the point of turning of them waiting 30 seconds ? Also my fountain runs for like 5 min then just stops. Any advice?
The chocolate fountain instructions say to turn off and wait for 30 seconds. If your fountain stops after 5 minutes, I would contact the manufacturer.
I like your channel name.
Can you use single or double cream instead of oil? Or just water?
You need oil or it won’t flow correctly.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget can I use olive oil instead of cooking oil or vegetable oil I think the Olive oil will be more healthier to use than the vegetable oil
I will use olive oil instead
Hi Lorna, you can but the olive oil flavor might overpower the flavor of the chocolate. If you’re looking for a healthier oil, then you can try grape seed oil, which has a neutral flavor.
Ur video is a life-saver to me. I want to ask if I can prepare it one day ahead or recycle the chocolate for the next day?
Glad that I was able to help you. Regarding preparing the chocolate a day ahead, no I wouldn’t do that because the chocolate will harden at room temperature and in the fridge. I have never tried to store the leftover chocolate.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget thank you for ur response! I tried it tonight and it’s pretty successful! However, I have to prepare it tonight and hopefully I can just heat up again the next morning easily and bring it out to enjoy with kids. I tested it today when it’s room temperature it does not really harden so I think I won’t put it into the fridge tonight. I will keep u posted how it goes. Fingers-crossed.
@ms.laisclassroom812 The worse thing is that if it hardens you’ll have to microwave it. Good luck!
Thank you my dear! It turns out to be so successful and it did not get hardened. However, I have one more question. Is there an easier way to wash it? It’s super greasy ….
@ms.laisclassroom812 Glad it turned out well for you! That’s a good question about washing! I had to use wet paper towels to wipe off the chocolate first, then wash. Yes, washing it is the hardest part.
Olá boa noite. Sou do Brasil.
Para 1 kilo de chocolate quanto de óleo e qual óleo? Obrigado.
700 grams de chocolate
Can you use water instead of oil or a other oil
No. The water will make the chocolate seize

Do you find the noise bothers you for parties
I have only used it with my kids. But the time you spend close to the fountain to dip is short and than you can move somewhere else with your dipped food.
I am not going to buy the Chocolate Fountain. I just came here to be tempted. You did a great job in tempting me.!
LOL!
I too noisy. in a table after a while would be annoying
There are quieter ones but they cost more.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget Can you suggest Brand and model?
Sephra has a whisper quiet chocolate fountain. amzn.to/3bWCuAh
can i use butter?
I am not sure that butter would work.
How long the fountain can work non stop?
Hello)
Not sure but my friend once left theirs on for 24 hours.
Is the plastic supposed to heat up?
The metal at the base of the fountain heats up.
Hi Fanny, from Elvie and David. :)
Hi David and Elvie! Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget You're welcome. You are becoming TH-cam-famous! :)
Hi Great video
What chocolate is ideal for fountains?
In the video, I mixed semisweet, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. But the easiest is to use chocolate fountain melting wafers like this: www.amazon.com/Wilton-Chocolate-Pro-Fountains-Multipack/dp/B01C9JSB7I
I didn't expect the machine to be so loud.
It is loud. But the higher end, professional ones aren’t as loud.
Put it on the strawberries and then freeze them up in the freezer and that’s how you make chocolate strawberries
I have tried it
It tastes good when you freeze strawberries
Oh you can add chocolate syrup can’t like the milk
Sawit oil is easy tohave in here,milk is cosy in asian
You can use all purpose cream to make it liquid not oil so much of oil? Bad to the taste..
You need oil for the fountain to run properly and not clump up when going through the pump. (If you’re doing a simple fondue then it doesn’t matter as much.) The oil to chocolate ratio is what is recommended by the chocolate fountain manufacturer. If you look at chocolate melting wafers sold for chocolate fountains, there is a lot of oil in them too. If you don’t believe me, you can try it out yourself in your chocolate fountain.
Is this machine washable?
Hand wash only
I had plan to buy but no way so oily yaaq
You need the oil to help it run through the machine smoothly. When you eat it, it doesn’t come out oily.
Can I use nutella??
Good question. I have never tried. I think you would have to figure out how much oil to add.
??
Pa
Thanks for watching!
Did she say 3/4 cup of oil or 3 to 4 cups of oil
It’s 3/4 cup of oil. The full recipe is here: www.livingrichlyonabudget.com/how-to-set-up-a-chocolate-fountain/
Wow that's a lot of oil you put in...!! Wow. I guess that is what you need. I am a novice but I would think that that much oil would make the chocolate not taste good.
You need the oil for it to flow properly. And the oil didn’t interfere with taste. My kids ate it up.
The milk is better than oil
@@LivingRichlyonaBudget sorry but there's no way the oil didn't interfere with the taste
This is the best video on this I've seen yet
You need that much the chocolate is far to thick
Coconut oil would be better.
You can use whatever oil you’d like but we are allergic to coconut.
That’s to loud
We asian,like oil in our meal
Too loud
Didn’t even show the pretzel
Smile ..you're to serious 😒
Thank you
You’re welcome!
