Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Topping Mixture
- 12 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 12 oz pink candy melts
- 12 oz yellow candy melts
- 12 oz green candy melts
Coating
- 1 lb white almond bark
- Easter sprinkles (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Repeat this process with the yellow and green candy melts in separate bowls.
- Combine with Whipped Topping: Line an 8×8 inch dish with parchment paper. Add 4 ounces of whipped topping to each bowl of melted candy. Fold gently until fully combined to keep the mixture fluffy rather than dense.
- Swirl the Colors: Since the mixture thickens quickly, work swiftly by spooning dollops of each colored mixture into the prepared pan. Use a knife to swirl the colors together, then smooth the top evenly.
- Freeze the Mixture: Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to fully set.
- Melt the Almond Bark: Melt the white almond bark in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Cut and Dip: Remove the frozen candy from the freezer and cut into 20 to 24 equal pieces. Using two forks, dip each piece into the melted almond bark and place onto a parchment-lined tray. Immediately sprinkle with Easter sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Set the Coating: Repeat the dipping process for all pieces. Place the coated candies in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the almond bark shell to fully set.
- Serve: Once set, the candies are ready to be enjoyed or stored for later use.
Notes
- This recipe is easy to customize with different candy melt colors for various holidays.
- Try layering the colors instead of swirling to create striped candies.
- Add crushed Easter candies on top for extra texture and decoration.
- Double dip candies for a thicker chocolate shell.
- Flavor variations can be added by incorporating peppermint or lemon extract into the melted candy mixtures.
- If candy melts aren’t available, use white chocolate chips with food coloring as a substitute.
