Oatmeal never tasted this good before!

I've recently started eating oatmeal every morning for breakfast so I had some laying around.  I was having a craving for a sweet treat and had an idea!  Why not use the oatmeal in the dessert...

Ingredients:

1 package quaker maple brown sugar instant oatmeal
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Magic Shell chocolate coating

Directions:
Empty oatmeal into a bowl.  Add 1/2 c water and microwave for 1 minute.
Remove oatmeal from microwave and scoop ice cream on top.
Add a healthy layer of chocolate

ENJOY!
