my magic shell has a kind of coconut smell, is there a way to get rid of the smell?

if you get a really good quality coconut oil - extra virgin, cold pressed - it will usually have a pleasant coconut smell. if you get oil of a lesser quality it doesn't smell as coconutty.

I could be the coconut oil you're using. I would recommend either upping the amount of chocolate, or cutting some of the coconut oil with another oil that sets when it's cold, like a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.

You can get some nice organic deperfumed/unsented coconut oil now!! Check that out if you want a less coconut smelly version. :)

my coconut is really like oil, how do i melt it? or just put it into the pan, heat it?

[scoochmaroo]

Make sure that it will actually harden up when it gets cold first. If it doesn't, it won't work. If it does, then use, just put it in the pan to heat it enough to melt the chocolate.

gee thanks. btw, how much coconut oil should i use for 200g of chocolate?

[scoochmaroo]

135g chocolate : 90g coconut oil =
1.5 grams chocolate : 1g coconut oil, so
200g chocolate: 133g coconut oil, and
150g chocolate (your following question) : 100g coconut oil

thx

You basically put 2 parts of coconut oil for every 3 parts of chocolate.
