Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 24 oz milk chocolate chips
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
Coating and Decoration
- 24 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
- Festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Melt Milk Chocolate: Microwave the 24 oz of milk chocolate chips for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Combine with Cool Whip: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Fold the cooled melted milk chocolate carefully into the 8 oz of thawed Cool Whip until fully blended. Spread this mixture evenly in the lined baking dish.
- Freeze and Cut: Place the baking dish in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove and cut the chilled chocolate-Cool Whip mixture into 36 small squares. Transfer these squares onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze again for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Dark Chocolate and Dip Candies: Melt the 24 oz dark chocolate wafers according to package instructions. Using a chocolate dipping fork or similar tool, dip each chilled square fully in the melted dark chocolate. Place dipped candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to harden. If desired, sprinkle festive sprinkles on top immediately before the coating sets.
- Store and Serve: Keep the finished candies stored in the freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy these cool, creamy, and chocolatey treats straight from the freezer for best texture.
Notes
- Ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easier mixing.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid easy removal.
- Freezing between steps helps maintain shape and texture for smooth dipping.
- Dark chocolate coating can be substituted with white chocolate or flavored melts.
- Sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted if desired.
- Store candies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
