After eating our Irish Sundaes we moved on to Ice Cream Sundaes and made a little chocolate shell topping that is similar to Magic Shell or the stuff that they put on the ice cream cones at Dairy Queen. It is a recipe that we adapted from Instructables and only requires 2 ingredients! So easy and yummy! You will need: -1 1/2 cups Chocolate (chips, candy bars, Kisses, whatever you have on hand, as long as it...
