Description
Easy Cool Whip Candy is a no-bake chocolate treat with a fluffy mousse-like center and a rich chocolate shell, perfect for parties, gifts, or a quick sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 2 packages (11 oz each) milk chocolate chips
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 24 oz dark chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the thawed Cool Whip until well combined and fluffy.
- Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly.
- Freeze the dish for 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
- Cut the firm mixture into small squares and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze again for 30 minutes.
- Melt the dark chocolate wafers according to package instructions.
- Use a fork to dip each frozen square into the melted dark chocolate, coating them completely.
- Let the candies set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate shell is firm.
Notes
- Use a hot knife to make cleaner cuts through the frozen mixture.
- Cool Whip provides stability; homemade whipped cream may cause candies to soften.
- Store in the freezer for up to 30 days in an airtight container.
- Add extracts like peppermint or orange for flavor variations.
- Decorate with sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzled white chocolate for a festive touch.
