Magic Shell

This is a bit of a cheat since it is so simple and I've already pasted it to facebook, but it is sooooo tasty.  We haven't been able to get enough of it lately.

Preparation Time: About 10 minutes tops.

Ingredients:
2 parts coconut oil
3 parts chocolate
salt, oil-dissolvable extracts, etc.

Directions:
Melt coconut oil in a small sauce pan.  Coconut oil melts very quickly and had a high heat tolerance, so don't worry too much about burning it.  Drop in your chocolate and extras and stir until mixed thoroughly.  Pour immediately into a glass container or let cool and pour into an old magic shell bottle.

A couple of observations:
 * Unrefined coconut oil will taste like coconut.  Refined will not.
 * This is much more liquid-y at room temperature than regular magic shell, but hardens faster and better.
 * Since it is oil based, I don't recommend getting it on your clothes.
 * Make some homemade ice cream bars and then dip them into a pint jar of magic shell.
 * I want to buy a tiny ice cube tray and use it to make Dibs-like creations.
