Homemade Magic Shell

Not that I'm a huge fan of Magic Shell, but I have to admit the coolness of instant-hardening chocolate sauce is pretty hard to resist.  The kids think this is pretty awesome.  And truth be told, so do I.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Place coconut oil and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and cook on HI for 1 minute.  Allow the bowl to set for just a minute or two so the hot oil can melt the chips.  Stir well with a whisk.
2.  Pour sauce over ice cream servings!

Notes:

• Coconut oil is a solid at room temperature so look for a jar of it, not a bottle.  The brand I bought is Spectrum.

• Store your leftover sauce in something that you can microwave later.  It helps to have a bottle that is microwave safe so you can pour easily, but you don't have to.  We just spooned it on.
• Store in the fridge.  To use, reheat in microwave at 30 second intervals until it's liquid again.
