Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 package (10–12 oz) chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Combine Cool Whip and Chocolate: In a separate large bowl, gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the melted chocolate until completely combined and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture.
- Spread the Mixture: Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt evenly over the top to add texture and flavor.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and chill for at least 1 hour or until the candy is firm.
- Cut and Store: Once set, cut or break the candy into bite-sized pieces. Store them in the freezer until you’re ready to serve, as the candy melts quickly at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla or peppermint extract before folding in the Cool Whip.
- This candy melts quickly at room temperature; keep it frozen until serving.
- Use dark, milk, or white chocolate candy melts based on your preference.
