Magic Shell Ice-Cream Topping

This magic shell ice cream topping pours over your ice cream as a liquid, but quickly hardens to form a shell of rich chocolate. It turns plain ice cream into a fancy (and fun) dessert. Your family and friends will love it, and everyone will be impressed.

It only takes a minute or two to harden, and then there’s so much satisfaction in using a spoon to break through the shell.

Try it!
