Frankly, I LOVE Magic Shell. Magic Shell is DELICIOUS.
But Magic Shell is also expensive, costing more than $2 for a bottle of sauce. Also, there are a lot of mystery ingredients in Magic Shell and I'm trying to avoid consuming mystery ingredients. Boo on both accounts.
One day I was having a bowl of Diesel's famous homemade ice cream (yeah, he makes ice cream too, I totally scored by marrying him) and thought "this needs Magic Shell." Alas there was none to be found. So I started tinkering with ingredients until I found just the right combination. And then I thought my life was complete--until I realized I needed to figure out how to make peanut butter Magic Shell... THEN my life was complete.
So today I am going to share this little nugget of wisdom with you. And it is SO easy.
Get a small glass bowl. I like to use my little Pyrex prep dishes.

Mix between each microwaving until you have a good melted chocolate consistency with no lumps (photo is after first 20 seconds).
It should be a nice melty consistency!

For peanut butter Magic Shell, substitute peanut butter for the coconut oil. Peanut butter Magic Shell is actually my favorite.

Now enjoy your complete life!!!
Oh great! I was just saying on our thread how I wanted to LOSE weight.....
ReplyDeleteWell, you don't HAVE to make it...
DeleteDo you mean substitute peanut butter for the choc chips? I'm assuming the coconut oil is the magic ingredient to make it harden? thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteOops! I guess that wasn't clear. No you substitute the peanut butter for the coconut oil. The oil in the PB makes the shell harden when it touches cold. Basically like a Reese's PB cup shell.
DeleteOoooh,thank you, thank you clutteredmama! There goes my diet!
ReplyDeleteHa ha!!! Maybe I should add "ruiner of diets" to my "about me" section!
DeleteI actually invented this when I was doing The Best Life Diet, and in moderation, is probaby fine. Just like not every night and not half a pound of chocolate! ha ha! :)
And I may or may not have some weight I need to lose too...
Ok. You're a genius. I LOVE Magic Shell and everyone always makes me feel bad about the cholesterol and strange ingredients in it. I already love you, but now I think I'm going to have to marry you!
ReplyDeleteWell, we'd have to pass some laws for that! ;) But believe me, the feeling is mutual!
DeleteEnjoy your homemade Magic Shell & feel free to call me a genius ANY time! :)
