Ice Cream Drumsticks help

I can no longer get decent Ice Cream drumsticks--sugar cone, scoop
of ice cream that is chocolate coated and then rolled in chopped
peanuts and cookie crumbs. A similar treat is the square of ice
cream on a stick that is coated in chocolate and then rolled in the
nut mixture.

Does anyone know how to make the chocolate coating that forms a thin
chocolate shell? I'd thought of melting chocolate chips, but I
think that would form a shell that was too thick.

Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

Janet

I believe you can buy the stuff in the Supermarket.

There is a product called "Magic Shell" made by Smuckers which forms a
hardened shell when poured over ice cream. You'd probably have to work
fast to coat it with the nut mixture before it hardens, so that the mixture
would stick to it.

Here is a copycat recipe for it from Recipe*zaar:

Magic Shell Copycat #73295

1 (6 ounce) package chocolate chips
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup corn oil

In a double boiler melt chips and butter together.
Once melted add oil.
Pour over ice cream and it will harden

Thanks, Wayne. I never thought of a copycat Magic Shell. I have seen
Magic Shell in the grocery store, but I wanted to be able to use my own
ingredients and flavors and be able to "dip" rather than use a squeeze
bottle.

Thanks everyone for your response.
