You can use milk chocolate, plain chocolate, white chocolate or caramel, according to taste.

Use the fork (10) to dip the foods of your choice into the chocolate.
RECIPES

If you decide to use fresh fruit, we advise you to dry it well after washing it. This is because if the chocolate comes into contact with moisture and water, it could begin to harden, preventing the fountain from operating correctly.

We recommend that you only use chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55%.
