The Davis Herd frequently indulges in ice cream. Preferably vanilla topped off with a few more calories, goodies. I've listed a few of our favorite toppings below.
Hershey's Syrup
Sprinkles
Peanut Butter
Honey
Crushed Cookies
Dry Cereal
and Magic Shell.
We may use them alone... but often have a combination of atleast two.
Oh how we love ice cream!
I'm blogging to inform you of a recipe for homemade Magic Shell. And if you your kiddos enjoy the hard shell magic it's more than worth it to concoct your own!
First, hunt down a jar of Coconut Oil.
Now, this isn't available at my small town grocery store so I had to put this on my "big town" grocery list. I found it in the Organic section of the grocery store, it was a bit pricey, but I reminded myself of some of the crazy money we spend on other things and decided to go with it.
Also, I was surprised to see Coconut "Oil" is a solid.
It looks like Crisco in a glass bottle.
I just thought you should no that so you're not confused...or you think it's bad or something.

Anyhoo....
Next, grab a bag of Nestle Semi-Sweet chocolate chips. For melting purposes I decided not to buy the generic brand this time.
Head home....You're ready!
In a glass mixing bowl place 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (measured when solid). Place in microwave for 1 minute(depending on your microwave). When the oil has completely liquefied, stir. The oil will melt your chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. It will be runny!
Poor into a glass bottle/jar(I used a honey jar) as you will reheat in microwave as need.
In our case....nightly.
Store in refrigerator.
