Description
This Cool Whip Candy is a light, fluffy treat that mimics the flavor and texture of a 3 Musketeers bar using just three ingredients: Cool Whip, melted chocolate, and almond bark. Perfect for gifting or enjoying at home.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate or bars, broken into small pieces
- 8 ounce tub of frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip or store-brand)
- 24 ounces chocolate almond bark (also called candy coating)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8‑inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave‑safe bowl, melt the semi‑sweet chocolate: microwave 1 minute on high, stir, then continue in 30‑second intervals until smooth.
- Add the thawed whipped topping to the melted chocolate.
- Beat with a handheld mixer on medium for 1–2 minutes until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan and fold over the parchment.
- Freeze for 1 hour until firm.
- Lift the slab out onto a cutting board and slice into six 1½‑inch strips, then halve and cut into 36 squares, rinsing knife in hot water between cuts.
- Return squares to the freezer while melting the almond bark: microwave 1 minute, stir, then 30‑second intervals until smooth.
- Dip each square using a fork, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment‑lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate 15 minutes until coating firms.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days at room temp or up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
- Can be frozen for up to 30 days; let sit at room temperature a couple minutes before serving.
- Use extra creamy Cool Whip for a richer center.
- Decorate with chopped nuts, peppermint, or crushed cookies before chocolate sets.
