Chocolate Mixture
- 24 oz milk chocolate chips
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 24 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
Toppings
- Melt Milk Chocolate: Microwave the milk chocolate chips for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Combine with Cool Whip: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Gently fold the cooled melted milk chocolate into the thawed Cool Whip, mixing until fully combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
- Freeze and Cut: Place the dish in the freezer for 30 minutes to set. Remove and cut the mixture into 36 small squares. Transfer these squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Dark Chocolate and Dip: Melt the chopped dark chocolate following package instructions. Using a chocolate dipping fork, carefully dip each candy square into the melted dark chocolate and place on a parchment-lined sheet to harden. If desired, sprinkle festive sprinkles onto the chocolates before the coating sets.
- Storage and Serving: Store the finished candies in the freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy this cool, creamy, and chocolatey treat chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing for a smooth texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Store candies in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- For easier dipping, use a fork or chocolate dipping tool to create a clean coating.
- Customizable with different sprinkles or nuts for variety.
