How many bags (or pounds) of chocolate does it take to get it flowing right?

Always depend on the number of people expected at the event. With 2.5 kg. Chocolate flows properly, it is advisable good leveling machine. This amount of chocolate gives you up to 40 people for 1/2 hour. After no longer flows in the same way so it would fill with more chocolate, for example 1 kg. you care to 1 hour.Typically the event along with the chocolate fountain no longer than 1 hour.My last event had 150 people, two machines, and 5 kg. Chocolate in total, and for 1/2 hour fine, then turned off the waterfall but I left the machine running hot for 1/2 hour.

I believe it was two if I remember correctly. It does tell you in the instructions how many bags/lbs you need to get it running smoothly.

I just reread the book. You need to start with at least 1 lb. It doesn't state how much chocolate you need to get it going. It also recommends using Sephra chocolate because you don't need to add oil to it. You can melt the chocolate directly in the basin 1 lb at a time but it takes 45-60 minutes. You can also microwave Sephra chocolate in it's special bags or in a double boiler on the stove. Good luck.

When i used them for my wedding it took about 2-3 pounds to make it flow nice and even. Takes about 20mins to get it up and going.

Don't really remember. However the chocolate supplied was just enough to completely fill the fountain and the taste was wonderful.

i use 4 molds for one batch of hard candy(so they dont overflow and stick together over the edges). ive never used them for chocolate.

After the fountain has preheated (10 minutes), pour in the melted chocolate and turn the knob to "flow." Requires 4# of choc. Make sure it's level on the counter. Hope that helps!

Well I liked the chocolate the best initially when mixed with just water but this morning I mixed 2 scoops vanilla 8 oz water 4 oz vanilla almond milk and some ice cubes in a mixer bottle and it was much better. If mixed with just 8 oz water it is very thick and frothy with a bad after taste, this mixture seemed to help and I also lost about 5 lbs this week with restricted calories and 45 min walk every other day.

The chocolate has to be very thick to make chips unless you want to make them very flat better to use a decorating bag to squeeze the right amount. Sorry about the time.

6 cans with 8 ounces per can. Thus, a total of 48 ounces of cocoa goodness.

We have popcorn bags that say 1.5 ounces and it fills up 4 or 5 per batch. We make about 5-8 batches in a few hours and have no issues.

I've had it going for a little over 2 hours - it really depends on how much you thin the chocolate.

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

The average recipe calls for about 2 teaspoons. The 1.1 oz box makes 3-4 average batches of jam, so the half pound pound bag makes 25+ batches.

Mine ran for 5-6 hours. And you can pour more chocolate mixture in while it is running if you need to refill. I've used it 3 times with great success and it's always a hit at a party.

I've successfully ran it for approximately 6 hours. Was still going strong when I turned it off. I think it would be fine running as long as you keep it full of chocolate.

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

Gee,I'm not sure b/c I use it at different times. I'd guess 4. I purchased in bulk size. 4 big bags at a time.

To get 40 mentioned treatments, use .45 ounce by weight for each application. If using the supplied 25cc scoop, fill to 1/4" below the lip. This info might also help anyonethat somehow did not get a scoop. Mine came with a scoop, just had to dig down about an inch or so with a plastic spoon to find it.

I've regularly collected 1.5-2oz on my over-productive a side. When that full, draining into a bottle is a little harder but not impossible - just need both hands to avoid spilling. Or just empty mid-feeding/more frequently.
