Chocolate Topping..Homemade 'Magic Shell'

 This is a quick and simple homemade treat to serve over ice cream and a lovely gift to give from your kitchen!  I am already dreaming of all the different toppings I can make..maybe chocolate with jalepeno! I'll be back in summer with more ideas:)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips..or you can chop up your favorite chocolate
• 3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 

Method:

1. Melt chocolate chips and butter (or coconut oil) in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave another few seconds and stir again until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. You might need a few more seconds in the microwave but be careful it doesn't burn.
2. Add vanilla and stir till well blended.
3. Pour into a glass jar and cover with a lid, I used a jam jar, it's important to pour into a microwavable container.
4. You do not need to refrigerate as it will keep a few weeks in the pantry.
5. The next time you have a yearning for this delightful topping just reheat  in the microwave (remember to remove the lid) for a few seconds till it's liquid again.
6. Spoon or drizzle over ice cream. It will form into a hard shell.
7. Yield: approx 1 cup
