Homemade Magic Shell

I've been making this quite often the past few weeks since I made it and took it to a Relief Society dinner. I found the recipe on Pinterest (surprise, surprise) and thought I'd share it here...it is so incredibly simple.

1 c. chocolate chips
2 T. vegetable oil

Melt chocolate chips in microwave (anywhere for 60 sec to 3 mins...mine always take longer 'cause I keep my chips in the freezer)...stir until smooth. Drizzle (I just dump it in 'cause I'm usually hurrying because the horde is breathing down my neck) oil in as you stir. Serve immediately over ice cream and it will harden JUST like the store bought stuff. If it solidifies, zap it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.

Notes...
1.the recipe says to use within two days and don't store in the refrigerator...well, I've kept it longer than two days and in the 'frig and no problems. You just might have to reheat it a little longer than 30 seconds or let it sit out for a bit before reheating.
2. When I made it for RS, I doubled it and did 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of peanut butter (or something like that, I don't think it was 1:1)...it was really good. You could do mint chips or add some peppermint flavoring if you wanted.
3. The missionaries in our ward (both the sisters and the elders) think it is the most magnificent thing ever :)
4. This is a husband pleasing recipe :)
