MeltCup is a glossy red ceramic dipping mug with a tealight window built into the base. It turns a regular movie night into the one with warm melted chocolate right beside you.

Break your chocolate into the mug, melt it, light a tealight in the base and start dipping. Marshmallows, cookies, strawberries, pretzels, brownie bites, crushed candy stirred in. Whatever is already in your cupboard works. 130ml capacity. 11 cm tall, 8.3 cm wide. One stainless dipping fork included.

Sized for one person, or two sharing. It sits on a desk, a coffee table or a nightstand tray.

No fountain. No stove. No big pot to wash. Just you, a mug and a movie.

You have seen the videos. Warm chocolate, a marshmallow, a cozy room. Then you look at the cheap ones online and the reviews tell the real story.

Some people say it looked tiny out of the box. Some say the chocolate took forever to melt on a tealight alone. Some say it scorched when the candle burned too long. A few got one that showed up cracked.

Most of those problems come from how the mug gets used, and from nobody telling you how.

So we tell you. Break the chocolate small. Melt it first. Then let the tealight keep it dippable while the movie plays. If it starts to bubble at the edges, blow the candle out for a few minutes and relight it. That one habit is the difference between a cozy night and a burnt mess.

Size is shown in the photos next to a cookie and a marshmallow, so you know exactly what you are getting before you order.

  • ✓ Built in tealight window under the mug to help keep chocolate dippable while you watch
  • ✓ Right sized for one person or two sharing, no big pot to clean
  • ✓ Dip marshmallows, cookies, strawberries, pretzels, brownies and more
  • ✓ Stir in crushed candy or cookies for your own mix
  • ✓ Stainless steel dipping fork included
  • ✓ Glossy red ceramic that looks good on any table or desk
  • ✓ Comfortable handle, easy to hold and move
  • ✓ A gift that is easy to wrap and fun to open
  • ✓ Works for movie nights, cookie nights, date nights and holiday treats
  • ✓ Backed by a 30 day money back guarantee

Safety: Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets and anything flammable. Let the mug cool before washing.

Four steps. Break your chocolate into small pieces, melt it, set the mug on a stable surface, then light a tealight in the base window.

Chocolate type changes melt time, so here is what to expect:

  • Minute 0 to 5: Break the chocolate small and add it to the mug. Chocolate chips or small pieces melt fastest.
  • Minute 5 to 15: Light the tealight and stir with the fork. A tealight alone can be slow, so melting the chocolate first saves the wait.
  • During the movie: Dip, stir and enjoy. The candle helps keep the chocolate dippable.
  • If it bubbles: Blow the candle out for a few minutes, then relight it. Too much heat can scorch chocolate.

Clean it while it is still a little warm. Chocolate wipes off far easier before it dries. Always let the mug cool before washing, and never leave a lit candle unattended.

Yes. Every RinseRitual order is backed by our 30 day money back guarantee.

We would rather you try it, dip a marshmallow, and decide for yourself. That is the whole idea.

What Customers Are Saying

From people who wondered if a tealight could really melt chocolate, if it was too small, and if it was worth it. In their own words.

5.0 ★★★★★

"okay so my biggest worry was that a tealight wouldn't do anything and i'd be sitting there with a lukewarm mug of chocolate chips. melted a handful in the microwave first like the page said, popped the candle in, and it stayed dippable through a whole movie. around the end the edges started to bubble a little so i blew the candle out for a bit. that's on me for leaving it too long. but yeah it works. just melt first."

"i almost bought one of the cheapest ones online. then i read the reviews and half of them said it showed up cracked or took weeks to ship. mine came in one piece, feels solid, and the red is nicer in person. i also liked that i had 30 days to send it back if it wasn't right. didn't need to. worth a little extra to me."

What You Actually Get
On Movie Night.

Not a list of features. The four things that turn a regular night in into the one you look forward to.

Melting chocolate is easy. Keeping it dippable for a whole movie is the hard part. That is what the tealight window under the mug is for. Break your chocolate small and melt it first, then set a lit tealight in the base to help keep it warm while you watch. If the edges start to bubble, blow the candle out for a few minutes and relight it. That one habit keeps the chocolate smooth. Always place the mug on a stable surface and never leave a lit candle unattended.
Yes, it is small, and that is on purpose. MeltCup holds 130ml, which is plenty for one person on a movie night or two people sharing. It is 11 cm tall and 8.3 cm wide, so it fits on a desk, a tray or the coffee table. A standard cookie and a marshmallow both dip fine. No fountain to set up, no big pot to scrub. Pour in the chocolate, light the candle and you are done.
Nothing special to buy. Dip marshmallows, cookies, pretzels, brownie bites or strawberries with the stainless steel fork included. Want it thicker and more fun? Stir crushed cookies or your favorite candy straight into the melted chocolate. Use milk, dark or white chocolate. Whatever is already in your cupboard makes the night.
Keep it for yourself and turn any night into a cookie night, a movie night or a Christmas night. Or give it to someone who loves chocolate. The glossy red ceramic looks great on a table, a desk or under a tree, and it is easy to wrap. It is a small gift that actually gets used, and the person opening it knows exactly what to do with it.

"felt more solid than i expected"
"i was ready to be disappointed. ordered it expecting a thin cheap mug like the ones you see everywhere online. it's got some weight to it. the red is glossy and nicer in person than the photos honestly. the handle is comfy to hold. i've been using it a bunch since and no chips or anything. for the price i'm happy."

"do the melt first thing. it matters"
"i read a review where someone said the chocolate burned and i almost didn't order. so i did what the page says. broke the chocolate up small, melted it in the microwave, then lit the tealight to keep it going. perfect. the one time i forgot and left the candle on too long the edges started to look a little off, so i just blew it out for a few minutes and relit it. so yeah. just pay attention to it. never walk away from a lit candle either."

"gave it to my girlfriend and she used it that same night"
"i never know what to get her. saw the ads and figured it was cute enough to try. wrapped it in like five minutes. she opened it, looked at me, and went straight to the pantry for marshmallows. we sat there with a movie and honestly i think i had more of the chocolate than she did. bought a second one for her mom."

"love it but two small things"
"the fork is tiny. fine for marshmallows and strawberries, a little awkward for a big cookie. i just use my fingers for the cookies lol. and if you let the chocolate dry in there it's annoying to scrub so wash it while it's still a little warm. other than that i'm really happy with it. cute, small, does the job. would buy again."

"me, my laptop, a christmas movie. that's the whole post"
"saw the video and thought okay that's exactly my night. it basically is. cookies crumbled into melted chocolate, a movie on, the candle going in the little window. i set it up in about two minutes. it makes a regular night feel like a thing. i didn't think a mug could do that but here we are."

"thought it was just a christmas thing. it's not"
"i figured this would sit in a cupboard after the holidays. nope. i've used it for hot chocolate with a marshmallow on top, for strawberries on a weekend, for dipping cookies with the kids. 130ml is smaller than a normal mug so it's more of a treat than a drink, but that's kind of the point. the 30 day refund is what got me to try it. i didn't need it."

FAQ

The Questions People
Actually Ask Before They Order

Can a tealight really melt chocolate? +
It can, but it is slow if you start with a whole bar. Buyers of fondue mugs often say a tealight alone takes a long time to melt chocolate. The easy fix is to break your chocolate into small pieces and melt it first, in a separate microwave safe bowl or on the stove, then pour it into the mug. The tealight in the base window then helps keep it warm and dippable while you watch your movie.
Will the candle burn my chocolate? +
It can if the candle burns too long with nobody watching it. Chocolate scorches easily. If the edges start to bubble or look dull, blow the candle out for a few minutes and relight it. Stir with the fork now and then. Use small pieces of chocolate or chips, and keep the flame to one tealight. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
Is it too small? +
It is small on purpose. MeltCup holds 130ml and stands 11 cm tall, about 8.3 cm across. That is a single serve size, right for one person or two sharing. A standard cookie dips fine and a marshmallow fits easily. If you want to feed a crowd, you will want more than one mug.
What comes in the box? +
You get one MeltCup ceramic mug and one stainless steel dipping fork. Tealights are not included, but any standard tealight fits the base window. Chocolate and dippers are not included either, so grab a pack of tealights plus marshmallows, cookies or strawberries and you are set.
What can I put in it? +
Chocolate is the main one. Milk, dark or white all work. Break it up small and melt it first. Then dip marshmallows, cookies, strawberries, pretzels or brownie bites. Want it more fun? Stir crushed cookies or chopped candy straight into the melted chocolate. The 130ml size also works for a small cozy hot treat.
Is it safe to use with a candle? +
Used the right way, yes. Any open flame needs some common sense. Set the mug on a flat, stable, heat tolerant surface, keep it away from anything flammable, and never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep it out of reach of young children and pets. Blow out the candle when you are finished and let the mug cool fully before you move or wash it.
How do I clean it? +
Let it cool fully first. Then wash it by hand with warm soapy water. Chocolate is much easier to clean while it is still a little soft, so do not let it dry on overnight. Wipe the tealight window dry too. Wash the fork the same way.
What if it arrives damaged? +
Contact us and we will make it right. Ceramic can crack in transit, and we know that is one of the things people worry about with fondue mugs. Send us a quick message within 30 days and we will sort out a replacement or a refund.
Will it arrive in time for Christmas? +
Orders usually arrive in 8 to 10 business days. That is an estimate, not a guarantee, so if it is a gift or you have a date in mind, order early and check your delivery estimate at checkout before you pay.
Is it a good gift? +
It is a good fit for chocolate lovers, movie night people, couples, stocking stuffers and Secret Santa. The glossy red ceramic looks great under a tree and the person opening it knows exactly what to do with it. Tuck in a pack of tealights and some chocolate to make it a full gift. If you are not sure they will love it, our 30 day guarantee has you covered.
Can kids use it? +
It is a fun family treat, but an adult should always handle the candle and supervise. The mug and melted chocolate can get warm, so let children dip while an adult lights, watches and puts out the flame.
Why not just buy a cheaper fondue mug? +
You can find similar looking mugs for less. What people complain about in cheap ones is not the idea, it is the surprises: too small, unclear what is in the box, cracked on arrival, and no real instructions for getting the chocolate right. With MeltCup, the size is shown, the box contents are listed, there is a simple melt guide, and you have 30 days to decide. If it is not what you pictured, you get a refund.
What if I do not love it? +
Every RinseRitual order is backed by our 30 day money back guarantee. If MeltCup is not what you pictured, contact us within 30 days and we will refund you. Try it on a movie night, dip a marshmallow and decide for yourself.
