This is the exact $40 fountain I’ve been using for events: https://amzn.to/3Ro6AhN

The main thing people seem to struggle with is melting the chocolate, so I have described three ways of melting the chocolate below. Remember that you don’t need to buy Belgian chocolate for the best chocolate fondue or fountain. Though it’s important to note that using cream in a chocolate fountain recipe turns it more into a chocolate fondue fountain, so get ready for a rich treat!

HOW TO MELT CHOCOLATE FOR FOUNTAIN
Microwave Method
Put chocolate and cream in a silicone or glass bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir gently, then put it back in on high for 20 seconds, stirring well afterwards. Repeat this process 7-8 more times. If the chocolate seems to be heating but not melting, let it sit in the microwave for 30 seconds before taking it out and stirring again, then proceed. This whole process should take about 5 minutes.
Stovetop Method
Heat 2-3 inches of water in a large pot, and once boiling, turn heat to low and place a large glass bowl atop the pot. Make sure it fits well enough that no steam can escape. Add the chocolate and cream to the bowl, and over the next 10-15 minutes, the two will slowly melt; stir the mixture until well-combined, with no more lumps of chocolate.
Instant Pot Method
Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot liner, then place a glass bowl on top, large enough to create a seal over the water. Then add your chocolate and cream, and set the Pot to ‘Sauté’ on Normal. Over the next 12-15 minutes, everything will melt; regularly stir the mixture well to ensure no air bubbles and the proper consistency. Turn on ‘Keep Warm’ until you’re ready to add it to the fountain.
