Description

This Cool Whip Candy recipe combines rich melted chocolate with light, airy Cool Whip to create a decadent frozen treat. The candy is first mixed, frozen to set, then dipped in smooth dark chocolate for an irresistible candy bar with a creamy center and a crisp chocolate shell. Perfect for quick homemade candy, these bite-sized squares are best served chilled and make a great dessert or sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 2 packages Milk Chocolate morsels (11 oz each)
  • 1 tub Cool Whip, thawed (8 oz)

Chocolate Coating

  • 24 oz Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate morsels by heating them for one minute. Stir well, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, heating an additional 15 seconds if needed. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside for the candy mixture.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cool Whip: In a large bowl, gently fold the cooled melted chocolate with the thawed Cool Whip. The chocolate may harden into tiny bits during mixing—this is normal. Keep folding gently until fully combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Freeze and Slice: Freeze the mixture for 30 minutes. Once firm, remove from the freezer and cut into 36 small squares. Place these candy squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for at least another 30 minutes.
  5. Melt Coating Chocolate: Melt the Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers according to the package directions, ensuring a smooth coating for dipping.
  6. Dip Candy Squares: Remove the frozen candy squares from the freezer and dip each one into the melted dark chocolate to coat thoroughly. Place the dipped candies on parchment paper to set.
  7. Store and Serve: Store the finished candy in the freezer until ready to serve. These candies are best enjoyed cold and can be stored for up to 30 days.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the chocolate when melting to prevent burning; stir frequently.
  • Folding gently is key to maintaining the airy texture of the Cool Whip.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate for milk chocolate morsels if desired.
  • Use parchment paper to ensure easy removal of candy from the baking dish and baking sheets.
  • For best results, handle candy while frozen to get clean dips and cuts.
