Shell Ice Cream Topping
"This is a ice cream topper that will harden when it's poured on ice cream. It's like the ones sold in the store, but cheaper (by far!) The recipe is for only one serving so you can multiply it for as many people that you need to."

I made this up using dark chocolate and added in a teasp butter as well as the oil as suggested in a recipe by Toadflax on the forum where I posted a question looking for the 'shell type' chocolate sauce. Worked well. I made up enough for 4 servings by melting altogether in a jug in the microwave. :)

I've loved cooking all my life and had at least a bit of talent for it. As a child, the family diet consisted of items that came out of boxes and cans. Within that context, I excelled as far as I could. Later I moved to Korea and, separated from boxed mac and cheese and canned soup, I had to really learn. The experience delighted me. Who knew food could taste so good?
Back within the borders of the U.S., I tend to create dishes that use time-saving packaged foods while adding fresh ingredients to capture the best of both worlds. My kids are my critics and I rely on them to provide feedback on the quality of my food. My favorite feedback is when they say nothing at all except, mmmmmm as they consume their meal.
I first joined this site years ago when it was Recipezaar. Honestly, I still love that name, But regardless of what it's called, I love the site and love the cooking community it provides.
