Chocolate fountain chocolate

[sanden]

Hi can anyone tell me if I can buy chocolate for a chocolate fountain from a shop.
Last time I bought some from Thorntons but I think it was quite expensive and I dont really have time to order online as I need it for Friday.
I am not sure if you can use ordinary cooking chocolate?
Any help please.

Almost any chocolate will do, but it needs some vegetable oil to get the right consistency. We often use Moser Roth chocolate from Aldi.
