Yes Sir, the old fashioned way... milk chocolate and heat and stir constantly. The CocoMotion does it for you. You can use ANY forms of cocoa Mix or Mocoa mixes, etc... add herseys syrup or any other flavors to the milk to tweak your cup the way you want. We LOVE ours. NO ONE makes Cocoa better than this cocomotion. I can make Swiss Miss Amazing just by adding a bit more choc syrup. IT's off the charts insane how amazing this is. FYI I am NOT a paid spokesman. This Product really is this flat out off the charts Awesome!!! Worth the price!

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie

You can certainly make the highest quality chocolate using our cocoa butter. Depending on how glossy you want for your final product to look like, cocoa butter will give you so smooth ourersurface but not too glossy. thank you

I've always used chocolate chips - since I prefer dark chocolate, I use a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate pieces. I don't remember the exact recipe (I think there's one included), but you do have to add some oil to it, to keep the chocolate "running" through the machine! I melt mine in the microwave. I bought mine for my daughter's HS Senior Drill Team Squad party and it's still going strong 8 years later! You can even wash it in the top rack of the dishwasher, but to tell you the truth, I've always hand washed - didn't want to clog up the dishwasher filter. Good Luck!

I believe it's offered both ways, with or without chocolate. I love mine in a health shake or sprinkle over ice cream. Haven't tried it any other way.

Both. There's a technique that i watched on youtube, where you can make filled chocolate out of molds like the one i got.

I haven't tried the chocolate yet. Sorry I don't know, but the blade looks like you could if the piece is thick enough.

Not in the oven these are essentially molds. If you want to pour chocolate and let cool that would be the closest to baking you can get

check out the silicone molds from freshware, they have a 1/2 sphere dome that is 1" (not sure if you're looking for smaller) I work with resin and love their molds (they come out nice and shiny), I don't think I'd bother trying with this, probably better luck just finding a cheap chocolate mold in the half dome and releasing by popping in a freezer after the resin cures.

I don't recommend leaving it on for two hours, that's for sure! You will probably need to empty the chocolate in a container and rinse it off. If you buy the prepackaged chocolate (from Wilton), it should be easy to do.

I am using the chocolate and I mix it with regular flavor almond milk. I have mixed it with skim milk also but think the almond milk is healthier and also enhances the flavor. Good luck. I also have used the Yoli chocolate and find it even better tasting.

Hi Richard! I totally recommend this product! it is of great, heavy duty quality and will make chocolate just fine! I used my grinder for making delicious coconut butter and chocolate. Worked like a champ! I have only used mine maybe 5 times and will selling it for a decent price if interested. I have moved onto Fruitarianism and have no use for my grinder. Let me know if interested. Have a pleasant day, Jay

Super Easy to do! Buy candy melts (grocery stores or craft stores like Michael's sell these in bags) and melt them according to directions (in microwave) and add I tablespoon of veg oil to make super smooth. Then pour into the molds, scrape the flat side with a butter knife, then pop the plastic mold tray in the fridge. You can use the molds for true chocolate (melted in a double boiler or in microwave) in the same way. Once hard, pop them out and use the tray over and over again!

It's just a mold. You have to buy the chocolate separately. You can also fill with water and freeze to make ice chess pieces.

you add water with the chocolate mix,.. I use milk,. regular or 2%. Its a great little machine. Its mixes and heats the content to a perfect temperature automatically and shuts off.

There's a hack for that. I posted the video on my Tumblr if you want to try it. http://sweetpeascloset.tumblr.com We upgraded for Christmas and got that dreaded "oops", but now it's all good.
