“A simple, no-bake treat made with just a few ingredients! Light, fluffy, and delicious, this candy is perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime snacking.”

Ingredients

• 1 (8 oz) tub of Cool Whip, thawed
• 1 (12 oz) bag of chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
• 1 (12 oz) bag of white chocolate chips (optional, for variety)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
2. Set up a wire rack if you want to ensure even coating of chocolate.

Step 2: Freeze the Cool Whip

1. Scoop small dollops of Cool Whip (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop for consistency.
2. Freeze the dollops for 1–2 hours, or until they are firm and easy to handle.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
2. If using white chocolate chips, melt them in a separate bowl.

Step 4: Coat the Candy

1. Remove the frozen Cool Whip dollops from the freezer.
2. Using a fork or skewer, dip each dollop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
3. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the candy back onto the lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Chill and Dust

1. Once all the candies are coated, return the baking sheet to the freezer or refrigerator to set the chocolate for about 30 minutes.
2. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.

Optional Variations

• Flavor Twist: Add a few drops of peppermint extract, almond extract, or orange zest to the melted chocolate for unique flavors.
• Crunchy Coating: Roll the candies in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
• Drizzle: Drizzle white chocolate over the top of the dark chocolate coating for a decorative finish.
