How To Make Magic Shell
- Place peanut butter into microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds until liquid like. Stir in vegetable oil until well combined then stir in chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Drizzle over firm cold ice cream and let harden. The peanut butter shell works best if you place back in the freezer once you drizzle it over your ice cream for a few minutes.
A little drizzle of vegetable oil.
There we go, nice and creamy.
I used these Mini Peanut Butter cups that I quartered, but you can chop up regular size ones if you’d like.
Add those little cups to your peanut butter and mix.
Break out your favorite cones.
We kinda like these sugar cones 🙂 Scoop your ice cream on top and drizzle with your homemade sauce!
Happy happy boy 🙂

Can one make Magic Shell with almond butter, cashew butter, soy butter or sunflower seed butter?
Has anyone tried Coconut Oil instead of the Vegetable to make it harden quicker?
I’m thinking it would harden a little more if you use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
I am obsessed with magic shell. I know just what to do with this. It is calling for chocolate ice cream.
Oh yah!!!
yummm!!……this looks so good! Great Idea!
Peanut utter magic shell is awesome enough,a nd now pb cup!?
Now I want some ice cream! The magic shell looks so yummy!
I love all these magic shell recipes! They look so delish and simple which is the best part!!! I love anything simple 🙂
With Reese’s Minis????? HELL YES!
Now THIS is my kind of magic shell 🙂
I am Peanut Butter fan, I think that would be delicious with the Whipped Peanut Butter. Yum!
Oh, heaven! If I was making this, I’m not sure how many of those little Reese’s minis would make it into the magic shell. I kind of have a problem!
I do too Jen!! Lol!
Best photos ever with the ice cream dripping down the sides of the cone onto his hand! That’s how ice cream should be. Bring on all the Magic Shell you want. They all look so yummy.
Keep writing…
Thank you Kathleen!! xoxo
BOOYAH! I’m not the biggest chocolate topping fan. It’s yummy and fun, just not my favorite topping. Peanut Butter on the other hand, well we were meant to be together, forever. 😉
Yah, I feel the same way Carrian!!
Ha…love your little taste tester! Bet he totally enjoyed helping out!
Yah, he didn’t complain much 🙂
I love all of your magic shell recipes!
Thanks Deborah! Hope you are doing well!
This is such a fun summer treat- love it!
Can’t go wrong with this, at all! Looks delish, Jenny!
I recently tried both the chocolate and the cookies and cream Magic Shell and they were both a hit! I’ve also considered making it with butterscotch chips, but didn’t think of peanut butter! Yum! Does this actually harden though? (I would think peanut butter chips would harden better than real peanut butter, although that might not be as tasty.)
Hi Terri, it doesn’t get as crunchy as the chocolate and cookies and cream version, but it does harden up. I place it back in the freezer for a few minutes after I pour it on the ice cream to help it out a little 🙂
Such a great idea Jenny and it’s not wonder your sweeties are smiling 🙂
I’m loving all your magic shell recipes lately! 🙂
This sounds SO GOOD! And so easy to do. My family is coming to visit this weekend and I think I’ll make this for them to enjoy 🙂
Hope you enjoy Megan!!
So simple!
