Ingredients You’ll Need
Chocolate
I typically use semi-sweet chocolate, but you can choose to use milk or dark chocolate if you prefer.
Coconut Oil (Refined)
This type of oil is solid at room temperature, which is what helps create the “magic” part of the magic shell. Make sure you are using refined coconut oil — this means that it will have a neutral taste and smell and not add a coconut flavor on the final product.
