Your decision to toss out the topping reminded me of the agonizing decision I had to make when deciding to get rid of my commercial cleaners. I wasn't about to dump them down the drain, thought about bagging them up for garbage pick up but that bothered me too. Finally, I gave them to a friend I knew would buy those products, never to be swayed by greener options, and boxed them up for her. Sounds easy enough but it took me weeks to come up with a solution.Loishttp://theecograndma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-77132121416677304642015-08-01T22:09:26.497-04:002015-08-01T22:09:26.497-04:00That would have been the smart thing.

When we were growing up, we always made our own chocolate sauce that acted somewhat like a shell. I've called my mother for the recipe, but I don't know if she will be able to remember it. However, that was before microwaves and was probably a bit more involved that your version.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-7929868877207748422015-07-31T16:00:07.253-04:002015-07-31T16:00:07.253-04:00I've done this before.

Yup, it's a good idea to not look too closely at the ingredient list of junk food! <br /><br />Lili and Anne are both very clever to make their own version. I don't particularly like Magic Shell so I don't bother with it, but your minty Klondike Bars sound yummy.

I use real butter rather than coconut oil or crisco because we like the flavor better. The best thing about making it yourself is you can make just enough for a single time use and not worry about leftovers.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-22123903937581923152015-07-31T10:51:09.535-04:002015-07-31T10:51:09.535-04:00Live and learn,

The ingredient that looks like Crisco is a combination of coconut oil and safflower oil, if it's the product I'm thinking of. <br /><br />Anyway, you can make your own "magic shell" with chocolate chips and just a bit of coconut oil or crisco, in the microwave. I've been making homemade "magic shell" this summer. It's been a huge hit with my family. And the homemade version is more chocolatey and has less of the extra fats.<br /><br />If you go to my grocery spending post for today, I just now added a photo at the very bottom of the post, just for you, of my homemade "magic shell". I'll post my directions over the weekend or on Monday. It's way yummier than the commercial brand, like the chocolate dipping of Dove Bars.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.com
