Here’s a simple recipe for making Cool Whip Candy that’s both delicious and easy to prepare:
Ingredients:
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
1 bag (12 oz) chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
1 cup powdered sugar
Optional: Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or mini marshmallows for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cool Whip Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Melt the Chocolate:
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler for smoother melting.
- Combine and Mix:
Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the Cool Whip mixture. Stir gently until everything is fully combined and the mixture has a fudge-like consistency.
- Set the Candy:
Line a small baking dish or tray with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly into the dish. Add sprinkles or toppings if desired.
- Chill:
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the candy is firm.
- Cut and Serve:
Once set, cut the candy into small squares or shapes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
This no-bake treat is perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime you need a quick dessert!
