Ingredients for Cool Whip Candy
Switch it up: Use white chocolate chips or more milk chocolate for a sweeter taste, or an extra dark chocolate for something less sweet.
High-quality chocolate will give them the best flavor and texture.
Add mix-ins: Fold in finely chopped nuts for a little crunch, or stir in sprinkles to make them festive for holidays or special occasions
Dress them up: Drizzle chocolate on top once the coating is set for a pretty finish.
Try truffles: Use a small cookie scoop to form balls, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and freeze before dipping.
How to Make Cool Whip Candy
This easy candy recipe is simple enough to make any day of the week! With just three ingredients and a quick mix-and-chill, you’ll get soft, creamy chocolate treats every time. If you love making your own sweets, try my homemade caramels or cherry cordials too.
Melt the Chocolate: Line an 8×8-inch pan witha piece of parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals. Stir each time until smooth.
Fold in the Cool Whip: Add the whipped topping to the bowl and fold until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread.
Chill: Freeze for 30–60 minutes, until firm enough to cut.
Slice: Once firm, remove from the pan and cut with a sharp knife into 36 squares. Return to the freezer until you’re ready to dip.
Coat: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the pieces of candy in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on a parchment-lined sheet or a lightly greased wire rack. Let the chocolate harden on the Cool Whip candy before serving.
Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Dipping is optional. But, dipping gives the candy a more polished, candy-shop finish. Use candy melts or coating chocolate for the best results. Add 1–2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to the melting chocolate for a silky smooth finish.
