    \n
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 \u2013 1\u00bd tablespoons virgin coconut oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Place chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a bowl and microwave until nearly melted. Stir until smooth. (Or, use a double-boiler method to melt ingredients.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Spoon in the coconut oil and stir until dissolved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Pour into a microwaveable glass jar. Put on lid and store at room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. When ready to use, microwave the jar without the lid for a few seconds to liquify. Stir. Spoon over ice cream. The chocolate will harden into a shell in a few seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
