Ingredients

(Makes about 24 pieces)

  • 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip, thawed
  • 12 oz (340g) melting chocolate (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cool Whip Mixture
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Scoop the Cool Whip into a large mixing bowl. If using, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 2: Shape the Candy
  1. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of Cool Whip onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for bite-sized portions.
  2. Freeze the tray for at least 1 hour, or until the dollops are firm and frozen solid.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
  1. While the Cool Whip pieces freeze, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly (you want it warm but not hot to avoid melting the Cool Whip).

Step 4: Coat the Cool Whip Pieces
  1. Remove the frozen Cool Whip dollops from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  2. Place the coated pieces back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add sprinkles, nuts, or shredded coconut immediately if desired.

Step 5: Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate or freeze the coated candies until the chocolate is set, about 15–20 minutes.
  2. Once set, serve and enjoy! Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 1 week.
