Magic Shell in action!
Today’s Snack of the Afternoon was made possible by the fact that yesterday was co-worker Matt’s birthday. Co-worker John and I went on a secret mission to find a kitchen treat worthy of Matt’s birthday, and I (sort of) covertly discovered that Matt’s favorite ice cream topping is Magic Shell.
A magical turtle is always a trustworthy source.
I have seen this in the grocery aisle a million times, but have never purchased it.
When I was a kid I used to get chocolate-dipped ice cream cones at Dairy Queen, but I never had at at-home hardened-chocolate-topping experience. It’s like magic! The cold ice cream sets the chocolate, and the nuts get embedded into the shell… it’s magnificent.
We also tried cupcake flavor, which looked like Funfetti (yay!) but tasted like… cupcake-in-a-bottle. Weird. (In very exciting news, Roomie plans to bake me a Funfetti cake for my birthday!!!) (Exciting for me, at least.) (Suckas!)
Also: Eating an ice cream sundae in the middle of the work day? Pretty awesome.

Funfetti cake is good, BUT… rainbow chip frosting on funfetti cake is MUCH better than funfetti frosting on funfetti cake. Just a heads up, in CASE you didn’t know this tightly held secret.
