Description

This Easy Cool Whip Candy is a no-bake, light and chewy treat made with just a few simple ingredients. It’s perfect for holidays, parties, or a quick sweet fix, offering a taffy-like texture without the fuss.


Ingredients

  • 1 tub Cool Whip, thawed (8 oz)
  • 16 oz white chocolate chips or almond bark
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • 1 tsp extract flavoring like peppermint, vanilla, or almond (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt white chocolate chips or almond bark in a large bowl until smooth using a microwave or double boiler.
  2. Fold in thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is fluffy and sticky.
  3. Stir in food coloring and extract if using.
  4. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until a dough-like consistency forms that is pliable but not sticky.
  5. Roll into balls or press into a lined pan and cut into squares once firm.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use almond bark for easier melting and setting.
  • Add more powdered sugar if the mixture is too sticky.
  • Customize with different extracts, food colors, or mix-ins like nuts or peppermint.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
