Remember Smucker's Magic Shell? That delightfully unhealthy gloopy chocolate-esque sauce that hardened upon settling onto ice cream? Oh, pure and unadulterated glee.Good news: you can make it yourself, without the nasty trans fats and preservatives! The Kitchn provided two great recipes, one from Brownie Points and one from Naomi Poe (aka the Accidental Vegetarian).
Personally, I'd make the Veggie's version, simply because it contains one fewer ingredient and I wouldn't have to convert from grams, but both look and sound incredible.

I love that stuff. I agree with the other poster - they can easily be had in stores. I just wish they made more flavors.

I didn't know that Magic Shell was ever gone. It's still easily found in my local grocery store, with the maraschino cherries, marshmallow creme, and ice cream cones.
But great find on the homemade stuff! I find it funny that I'm always converting from ounces to grams, living in a non-US country.
