Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 24 oz milk chocolate chips
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
Coating
- 24 oz dark chocolate, chopped
Decoration
- Festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt Milk Chocolate: Microwave the 24 oz of milk chocolate chips for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Combine Chocolate and Cool Whip: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Gently fold the melted milk chocolate into the 8 oz of thawed Cool Whip until fully combined and smooth. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Freeze and Cut: Place the baking dish in the freezer for 30 minutes to set. After freezing, cut the chilled mixture into 36 even squares. Transfer the squares onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze again for another 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Dark Chocolate and Dip: Melt the 24 oz chopped dark chocolate according to the package instructions. Using a chocolate dipping fork or similar utensil, dip each frozen candy square into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place dipped candies back on a parchment-lined sheet to harden. If desired, sprinkle festive sprinkles over the chocolates immediately after dipping before the coating sets.
- Storage and Serving: Store the finished candies in the freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy these cool, creamy, and rich candies as a delightful treat any time!
Notes
- Ensure the Cool Whip is completely thawed for easy mixing.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
- Chilling the mixture well before dipping helps the chocolate coating set quickly and neatly.
- You can substitute sprinkles with chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variety.
- Store candies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
