It may be hard to believe, but this recipe truly only requires three ingredients. You’ll need Cool Whip, milk chocolate chips, and dark chocolate melting wafers. The combination of milk and dark chocolate adds a delicious flavor variation to the candy. Have fun exploring the different taste profiles!
Simple Steps
- Start by melting the milk chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth and creamy. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, gently fold the room temperature melted chocolate into the thawed Cool Whip. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly smooth; a little texture adds to the charm. Be careful not to over-mix and lose the airiness of the whipped topping.
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spread the chocolate and Cool Whip mixture evenly using a rubber spatula.
- Place the dish in the freezer for 30 minutes, allowing the candy to harden to a sliceable consistency.
- Remove the dish from the freezer and cut the candy into bite-sized cubes. Transfer the cubes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return to the freezer for another 30 minutes.
- While the candy is chilling, melt the dark chocolate melting wafers according to the package instructions.
- Dip each candy square into the melted dark chocolate, gently shaking off any excess coating. Using a fork can help you achieve a smooth coating.
- Place the coated candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them harden.
- If you’re not planning to enjoy them immediately, store the candies in the freezer until ready to serve. Trust me, they taste amazing straight from the freezer!
