Peanut Butter Shell
Why should chocolate lovers get to enjoy all the crunchy, shell-topped ice cream fun? Peanut butter fans can now indulge in their own version—this easy recipe creates a crispy, nutty coating that hardens over ice cream, just like the classic chocolate shell. Swap in coconut oil for a hint of tropical flavor, though note it will take a few extra minutes to set.

Ingredients
Peanut butter
Coconut oil
Directions
In a microwave-safe medium bowl, mix together peanut butter and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and runny. Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes (this helps it harden faster on ice cream).
When ready to serve, pour the warm coating over your favorite ice cream. Wait a minute or two for it to harden into a crispy shell, then dig in!
