Chocolate Topping Homemade 'Magic Shell'

1 1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips or you can chop up your favorite melting chocolate
3 T spoons butter or coconut oil
1/4 tsp vanilla

Melt chocolate chips and butter (or coconut oil) in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave another few seconds and stir again until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. You might need a few more seconds in the microwave but be careful it doesn't burn. Add vanilla and stir until well blended. Pour into a glass jar and cover with a lid, I used a jam jar, it's important to pour into a microwavable container. You do not need to refrigerate as it will keep for a few weeks in the pantry. The next time you have a yearning for this delightful topping just reheat in the microwave (remember to remove the lid) for a few seconds till it's liquid again. Spoon or drizzle over ice cream. It will form into a hard shell. Yield: approximately one cup.
