Ingredients

8 shell (taco shape wafers or corn taco shells, small)
1⁄3 c chocolate (chocolate chips, milk chocolate)
1 c ice cream (vanilla ice cream or any to your taste)

Instructions

Preset the oven control to 350° F allowing the oven to preheat.

Stand the taco shells, opening up, in a loaf pan placing foil balls at each end to keep them upright.

Heat the shells in the oven for 5 minutes or until crispy. 

Remove and allow the shells to cool for 10 minutes.

Fill the bottom of each cooled shell with 1 tsp of the chocolate chips.

Fill each of the taco shells with 1/4 cup of ice cream.

Place the pan of filled shells into the freezer for at least 15 minutes.

Place the remaining chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave on high 1 minute then stir.

If the chips are not completely melted and smooth return to the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chips are melted and smooth.

Remove the tacos from the freezer.

Trickle the melted chocolate over the top of each of the tacos.

Quickly sprinkle each taco with the chopped peanuts.
