Cool Whip Candy Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 11 oz bags of milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 8 oz tub of frozen whipped topping, thawed at room temperature
- 2 cups chocolate melting wafers
- ½ cup white chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Prepare an 8×8 pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, then stir well. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and continue microwaving at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is silky smooth.
- Fold in the whipped topping to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until fully combined. The mixture will be thick.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared 8×8 dish, spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Chill the dish in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, remove the candy from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to make cuts to create 1-½ inch pieces.
- Place each candy piece on a large baking dish and return it to the refrigerator to chill further.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate melting wafers. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, then stir well. Add the remaining vegetable oil and continue microwaving at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is silky smooth.
- Using forks or dipping tools, dip each candy piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated candies back on the baking sheet.
- Repeat the dipping process for each candy piece. Once all the candies are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- As the candies chill, prepare the white melting chocolate following the same process as in step 8. Transfer the white chocolate to a piping bag fitted with a small round attachment.
- Pipe white chocolate drizzles over each candy piece by moving the piping bag back and forth.
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes before serving.
