Can I use Cadbury Dairy Milk in a choc fountain?

*flutterby*

Well thats my question... I know some people suggest mixing it with cooking oil but this sounds putrid!!!

Has anyone tried just using 'normal' chocolate rather than the overpriced 'special stuff'? Obviously I will melt it first...

Thanks for any help, hope someone can

I have only ever used Cadburys dairy milk.

2x 400g bars
6-8 fl oz groundnut oil

Works very well and you do need the oil to keep it flowing and it just tastes the same...honest I thought it soundd gross at first but its ok.

No you can't because it's not chocolate, it's just yukkie. Please use real chocolate and never ever buy something from Cadbury ever again.
thank you

Cadburys is NOT chocolate, it's a pathetic excuse for chocolate :rotfl: Get yourself some real proper chocolate in other words take the Eurostar to Brussels and visit Neuhaus and Leonidas and come back with a suitcase full Cote d'Or and Callebaut

Slightly cheaper than a Eurostar trip is joining Hotel Chocolat tasting club and get choccies whenever you want, (£9.95 to join and you get a scrummy box of 30ish chocs to taste, you can then cancel or continue and choose the frequency of delivery. I've now opted for a box of chocs every 3 months), however please don't waste them on a choc fountain, instead buy the Belgian cooking choc, available in Tesco's, and, yes, you do have to add the oil or you will just have a choc blob not a fountain:D

Oh for heavens sake!!!!!Just melt bloody cadburys!!!!We haven't had a single complaint ever!I doubt marshmallows/strawberries etc etc dipped in tescos own would be knocked back!!!

Cadbury do packets that you microwave to melt it. My friend bought some for her chocolate fountain. She put the oil in and and it does keep it flowing and shiny looking. Probably more expensive though, not had a look myself.

You do need to use oil otherwise it gets all glucky and bolcks the flow. This can break the machine, it happend to ours the first time we used it- motor burned out.If it is caburys you like then use it- but it never harms to try a few other makes as well .
