What would you dooooOOOooo for a Klondi … Dark Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bar? 😉 This iconic ice cream bar is one I grew up eating and it was so popular in our house we would keep three packages of those delicious square bars in the house at all times. In fact the only other ice cream we normally had were these Nestle Bon Bon bad boys! (Click the link for a truly hilarious 1980’s commercial on YouTube). Can you tell I was a child of the 80’s? Back then it was vanilla or chocolate, now there are so many flavors you can’t even keep up anymore.
This recipe builds off of the Super Dark Chocolate Stracciatella Ice Cream I recently made and combines it with some homemade bittersweet chocolate magic shell and delicious chocolate Oreo cookie crumbs. The magic shell isn’t that kind you buy in the grocery store that has 352 ingredients and only works sometimes (60% of the time, it works every time!) This recipe for the magic shell has only 2.
Lets get started shall we?
If you are not using homemade ice cream you can make these by cutting through small pint sized containers of ice cream and making them into disks. I made these into disks by using a take-out soda cup that was clean and freezing the ice cream in it. When frozen solid I cut the cup into 1 inch disks and refroze. Finally I cut the paper off the disks and we were ready to dip. Keep only one ice cream patty out at a time. You want to dip these frozen solid so ice cream doesn’t start dripping into the chocolate shell sauce.
Combine bittersweet chocolate with coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second increments until all melted and stir to combine. Let sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. Using a wooden skewer pick up the ice cream patty. 
Quickly dip into the ice cream until coated. 
Let excess chocolate drip off for just a couple of seconds. 
Now working quickly let the patty off the skewer and onto parchment paper. Sprinkle on Oreo crumbs if you would like. Repeat with remaining ice cream disk and keep in the freezer until completely frozen again. The chocolate shell freezes seconds after it is out of the bowl, but I like to be on the safe side, so I always refreeze them. Later, when you go back to eat them they are pretty solidly frozen so you can hold it in your hand or wrapped in aluminum foil for nostalgia’s sake. 
You can also mix the crumbs into the chocolate sauce if you would like but I wanted to have some with Oreo and some without so I didn’t do that. Peanuts and chopped almonds also make for a great mix-in.

So what would YOU dooooOOOOoooo for one of these ice cream bars?
These look so good. It looks like the coconut oil is the key component to making the chocolate a shell, good to know.
Thanks Michelle! It is an awesome option to avoid shortening.
This doesn’t look too terribly hard to make. I might be able to do it myself!
Yes! It’s so much fun too to watch it freeze so quickly.
There is very little I wouldn’t do for a chocolate dipped bar. This looks great and pretty easy to do from home.
Yes! It is super easy!
This looks SO delicious! I need to go try it liiiiiike NOW!
Haha, I love that!
Well this SO needs to happen Sabrina! I want one for breakfast!
Me too! If we put it on a Belgian waffle does that make it a more acceptable breakfast? O:)
So delicious! I want to make these ASAP!!!
Thanks!
My kids love using magic shell chocolate when we have ice cream at home! I bet they would love this treat!
Yes! And it is so much less expensive to make too. Those little bottles never have very much inside them!
Well those are too good to be true. I would love to make my own treats like these!
Haha, I love that.
These sounded amazing from the beginning but a hard shell? That is amazing! YUM

I think a dark chocolate she’ll would be so delicious! Your recipe makes it seem easy to do at home.
It was! I promise!
Oh my! Talk about making something delicious! We rarely buy prepared food so this is great!
We tend to make a lot from scratch too. I didn’t start thinking about what goes into prepared foods until I got pregnant with my oldest. Now we tend to shy away from it while staying as sinful as possible! haha.
These look SO good. I’d choose one (or two) over a Klondike bar any day!
Hahaha Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to try out magic shell at home – this one looks great!

YUM! I used to love the magic Shell when I was a kid!
Me too! I was always so sad when I got a dud bottle!
