Homemade Hardshell & The Green Monster

We all know that I am addicted to ice cream.

I talk about ice cream in some form or fashion in every EmLoves post.

It's because I love it and it makes me workout harder :)

I ALSO love chocolate hardshell on top of my ice cream. 

Seriously, who created harshell? So mean.

I love you, but you're so mean.

Anywho, I bought the bottled stuff for years until finally stumbling upon this recipe.

Soooo, I've been only two ingredients away from the greatest ice cream topping on earth for HOW LONG??

No more.

 Basically, you stir 1 Tbsp vegetable oil for every 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips until it is mixed and smooth. Then drizzle away and wait for it to harden!

And you know the GREAT part of making your own hardshell? The combinations are endless! 

Melted white chocolate chips with crushed Oreos, pretzels, and a peanut butter swirl? 

Happening.

Melted dark chocolate chips with coconut and a touch of mint extract?

Yes.

I'm excited.

 Ok, let's talk about something healthy, like GREEN MONSTERS!

I must say that I am not a big smoothie person, but I recently ordered one at Jamba Juice and it was so good! I have definitely been missing out.

Now I want to try my hand at making my own, but I'll admit that I have never used a blender and have no idea how to make a smoothie. 

Is that bad?? 

I need to research this whole Green Monster movement. I feel like this site is probably a good place to start, but any advice will be well received!

Happy Weekend! I hope yours is wonderful and filled with everything and everyone you LOVE!
