I wanted a chocolate fountain for a recent party with 70 guests. After looking at many fountains, I splurged and got the Sephra. The Sephra, which is over twice the price of the Rival, has elegant looks and incredible quality. Why put ordinary chocolate in it? This SF chocolate was delicious. It is also easy to use. For most people, the fountain is only one of many things being prepared for a dining event, so speed and ease are extremely important. The bags heat nicely to get your fountain going quickly. Well worth it, and much easier than fussing with oil and chocolate blocks or chips.

This chocolate was so delicious and easy to use. I was nervous when I got my fountain that I would have to spend a ton on chocolate and then have to put lots of oil in it, but this stuff is amazing. It was so easy to melt in the microwave (right in the bag)and flowed just perfectly. It was the absolute hit of the bridal shower and will make another appearance at the bachelorette party and then at out holiday party. The chocolate has a rich flavor. Delicious, easy, and FUN!

Most people would probably have no objection to this product, and it was good, it just wasn't the wonderful chocolate love affair I was looking for. I was willing to try it because it cost less and had free shipping. It was better tasting than the fondue melts I've had from craft stores. And more satisfying (and a whole lot easier) than adding oil to chocolate chips. I'm still going to have to spring for the Sephra next time, though. I am a very finicky chocolate connoiseur. If you are not, then you would probably really like this product.

I bought this for an occasion, and it was a dream. Melted perfectly in the microwave--you do NOT need a fondue apparatus. Just nuke it.

You can nuke it in the bag, or pour some out and nuke the dish. Great either way. Lovely creaminess, nice dark chocolate flavor (not overpowering), yum.

And the small niblets are great in a candy dish, fine for snacking, too. Not as intensely dark chocolate for snacking (the fat content is high for it to melt perfectly). But when it tastes fine in the hand, you know it'll taste good on your strawberry or dried fig or bits of angel food cake or banana disc or whatever.

So, to recap: 1. ease of use 2. nice flavor 3. can be a snack when unmelted 4. comes in a big bag that makes a huge amount, or you can use some now and put some away for the next family occasion. (Since it comes in a two-pack, I gave one pack away as a gift.)

I'd use it again. No problem.

OH, and that previous poster who said that the packaging was devious? I have no idea what that was about. I got the exact package shown above in the amazon image of this fondue chocolate, and I didn't get 2 bags with big blocks. I got just what is shown. Two bags full of nice, discreet, fresh, tasty, very small circles/discs of dark chocolate. Not a big block of chocolate. Perhaps that reviewer's chocolate got overheated and melted on route? I dunno. But I got exactly what was promised and was quite, quite satisfied.

I got this stuff for our Cuisinart fondue pot. This stuff is idiot-proof to make... I have no kitchen skills and I made some kick butt fondue. Melted real quick, evenly, and it tasted even better. No need to add anything to the chocolate like oil or anything.

Only bad thing is I wish the bag had a resealable zipper because 32oz. is way too big for me. Great product overall and I will by it again.

I have a Sephra Elite machine, used the SF chocolate and it was an absolute hit. Given that SF costs about half what other suppliers are asking for their chocolate I don't see how you can go wrong with this product.

My only complaint is that Amazon was out of stock when I went to reorder and I had to settle for Milk Chocolate at Christmas(OK - but I'm a dark chocolate fan.)

This is an excellent product for use in chocolate fountains. It was easy to prepare (just warm in the microwave and then knead until smooth) and worked perfectly in the fountain. It flowed smoothly for hours and tasted wonderful! The guests all raved about it! This was used for a bridal shower and worked well all afternoon and into the evening. Excellent flavor and texture! We plan to use it again at the post-wedding-reception party!

The small pieces of chocolate melt incredibly smoothly---much more so than "normal" bar or chip chocolate. This makes them perfect for fondue, or for simply stirring into hot milk for a drink. The dark chocolate could be richer and darker; I thought it tasted closer to milk chocolate, and lacks the depth of flavor of really good-quality chocolate.

I have not used this product yet, so the review is purely to inform potential consumers of the actual product ingredients. The ingredients listed on the product label (dark chocolate variety) are:

Sugar, Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa Powder, Buttermilk, Soy Lecithin and Natural Vanilla Flavor.

(Packaged on machinery that also processes soy nuts and tree nuts. Contains dairy products.)

Unlike chocolate chips or other fondue meltables, this fondue chocolate worked perfectly in our chocolate fondue fountain. It required almost no oil or paraffin to keep it smooth and silky, which is perfect because the oil tends to detract from the chocolate taste. It melted relatively quickly and very smoothly. Once the fountain got going, it really kept moving along nicely. I do recommend doing a pre-melt in a pan before adding to the fountain, as this tends to make it run even better. The chocolate itself tastes wonderful on whatever you are dipping. Highly recommended!
