Remember Magic Shell, that thin chocolate sauce that you pour over ice cream? It "magically" hardens in a matter of seconds into a waxy layer of hard chocolate. It's junk food, and we love it. We don't love the trans-fats and mysterious ingredients, though, so it's a good thing you can easily make it yourself...

Jocelyn at Brownie Points explains how just melted chocolate and coconut oil together make Magic Shell, DIY-version. She also gives tips for adjusting the texture and flavor.
Go read! And make your own batch for all that homemade ice cream you know you want to make.

when i was growing up we weren't allowed to eat the magic shell - it was only for my dad. when i first moved out on my own i would use more shell then ice cream:) now i have it maybe once a year but i always feel like i will be in big trouble if my daddy catches me (how sillly is that!).

I remember once being so desperate for some magic shell that I put it on an ice cube because we didn't have any ice cream. It must be that coconut oil that makes it sooooo tasty!
