Hi all! Im looking for some helpp. Im looking for a small chocolate fountain for home use. Emphasis on small! Chocolate's expensive, the less needed the better! The thing is, I bought one before and I needed to add oil to the chocolate which ruined the taste.
Can anyone point me in the direction of one that does not require the use of oil?
Thanks!

http://www.sephra.com/chocolate-fountain - More expensive than the $30. ones that Walmart and other big box/discount stores sell. They also hold more than the 2 pounds of chocolate of the Walmart model, but they do not use oil.
The oil is necessary in the Walmart model (and similar models) because they use chocolate chips (manufacture's directions for proper operation) and need the oil to keep the chocolate thin enough to flow. Of course you should use a very light (taste free) oil for this purpose!

If you buy the right kind of chocolate, you shouldn't have to use oil... I buy the fondue chocolate at Michaels or Hobby Lobby (or JoAnns) and have never had to use oil, but if you just use chocolate chips, then you will have to use oil. With a coupon, you can get it for a fair price...

Thanks for the heads up guys! I'll have a look around for the correct chocolate. I was just getting it off the shelf!

They sometimes have it at Walmart, too. In the wedding crafts section. It comes in a bag, I think it's 2 lbs.
