Ingredients
- 4 lbs Milk or Dark Chocolate Wafers or Chips NOT "Candy Melts" - See post for more information on the possibilities.

Instructions
- Following the directions for your specific model, preheat your chocolate fountain (if applicable). Be sure it's secure in place where it will be served and is LEVEL before proceeding.
- Divide your chocolate into 2 large microwave safe bowls, 2 lbs to each bowl. Measure ¼ cup oil into each bowl.
- Microwave one bowl for 1 minute, then swap it out for the second bowl - also heating for one minute.Stir each bowl as you rotate it out, then repeat - one minute for each bowl, stirring when done.
- From there, continue alternating the two bowls - heating and stirring - at 30 seconds each, until both are fully melted and smooth.
- Once smooth, check the consistency - stirring in more oil if needed. See the post for all the details you need.
- When you're happy with the consistency, pour it into your chocolate fountain.
- Turn the machine on, and enjoy with your choice of dippers!
