Chocolate for chocolate fountain?

[GnarlyOldGoatDude]

Please don't judge me, I know a chocolate fountain is not on many people's wishlist, but I acquired one recently for me the children

Bought some expensive chocolate for it from Amazon and it was lovely, but at £12 a bag, waaaaay too pricey for regular use.

Can anyone recommend a more affordable way of filling up this glorious edifice of chocolate-giving wonder?

any decent chocolate and some good quality neutral oil isn't it for a choc fountain....tbh due to the quantity you need it's always going to be pricey unless you want to try to clart it up with shitey dairy milk

Now I am wondering if my chocolate fountain is still in the loft.....frozen raspberries are JUST the best!

Probably a good job it's so expensive, you'd be having them daily else
Has the chocolate got a very high oil content to make it flow better or something?
Would a hot chocolate fountain be cheaper or work at all. You could put a few chocolate bars in, still would be cheaper than £12.

50p for 50gram chocolate, value line or whatever supermarket sells. Buy a load of those bars.

Add plenty of vegetable oil to it!
Don't overheat it in microwave (will stiffen up forever).
Must be well melted in m-wave-oven before you add it to fountain.
don't overload fountain or you will burn out the motor.

Wow thank you, I wasn't sure anyone would admit to having one

Frozen raspberries sound awesome!

The one I bought on Amazon was Giles and Posner (or similar) and was little chocolate chips that you melt in the microwave, no need to add any oil. Then put into the warm fountain. Tasted amazing, but can't afford that in a regular basis, and probably wasted on the kids.

lidl and aldi can be good for decent cocoa% chocolate.

I am goign to send ds2 up to the loft to see if it's still up there!

We have one about 3 bars of dairy milk does ours with a bit of oil if I remember correctly (haven't used ours in a while though since a drunken party and buffet experiment !! Chocolate sausages anyone ? )

Thank you, I shall have to do some experimenting

(Maybe not the sausages though)

Cheap chocolate and vegetable oil.
