To make your own magical chocolate topping: Microwave 4 tablespoons of refined coconut oil, 3 ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate, and a pinch of salt at 50 percent power until smooth (two to four minutes), stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature and spoon or pour over ice cream.

looks good!
Just tried this with great results, and so easy. These quantities are good for 4 servings, so halve or double as needed. I used 74% Guittard chocolate which gave it a super tang. Thanks, ATK!
2:3 raito? so 2/3 coconut oil and 1/3rd chocolate?
I want to add some crushed heath bar to that…
That looks so good. I'm definitely giving this one a try.
sounds like can be used to make home mande frozen bananas or bonbons
LouAna coconut oil and a Lindt 70% came out great this weekend. Real smooth . Stirred every 15 seconds in microwave. For about 2 to 3 minutes. Great taste
bittersweet chocolate????
Do I have to use bittersweet chocolate? Or do you think I can sub in milk chocolate?
Love love love this!!! I have made this several times: totally love this! We thought after giving up garbage we could never have this again and now we can. Thanks ATK! You people are the best!!! 🙂
So easy and simple I'll probably never buy that pre-made magic chocolate shell stuff again! 😀
For storage, is it best in fridge or at room temperature. I know both of the ingredients are shelf stable, but sometimes that doesn't matter.
So, how much can you taste coconut? I personally don't like coconut so if the taste is not noticeable that's be great. After all it should taste like chocolate right?

Is there a coconut oil substitute?
Sweet!
"Make", "DIY" and "at home" usually should only be used separately in sentences, but okay, ATK, you're the boss.
I'm totally going to try this. The Magic Shell stuff at the grocery store barely even tastes like chocolate.
Great, now I'm hungry.
