Please, whatever you do, do not look at the nutrition label. Ok, I can’t help it, I must let you know–it’s got like 16 grams of fat per serving–which is only like 2 tablespoons! Bah! And most of the fat, I’m sure, is hydrogentated oil! Seeing other’s comments, I’m excited to try making our own sometime, my boys love the Magic Shell stuff!

OOOHHH NNNNOOOO!!!!!! Honey, do yourself and your family a favor amd make your own. The “magic” is that it gets hard when cold, right? So if you simply melt together coconut oil (1 cup) and eating chocolate (1 – 2 cups), plus a pinch of salt, you will have one WITHOUT all the nasty chemicals in the “real” thing.

They have a relatively new (to me, at least) flavor called ‘Cupcake,’ and it really does taste like cupcakes! Delicious! (Doesn’t really help me in my plan to lose 20 lbs., though.)

Hello,
Yes, I love Magic Shell too. Did you know you could make it at home much cheaper? All you have to do is place 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of butter (although I use coconut oil) in a glass container and melt in microwave. Stir well and pour over ice cream….or fruit!

I definitely prefer regular chocolate syrup to this stuff. Not sure why, but the shell concept never appealed to me. I’d rather mix my ice cream all up with the toppings and make it gooey and wonderful!

I believe we get a different brand, we’ve never had to put ours in the freezer… but my kids love the reeses (pb & choc mixed together) version and I adore the chocolate with bits of toffee. We are guilty of chilling strawberries and putting it on them too

An avid ice cream and chocolate lover, I cannot believe I’ve never tried this!
