Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups (525g) milk chocolate chips
- 8 ounces (225g) Cool Whip, thawed
- 24 ounces (680g) chocolate almond bark or chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine with Cool Whip: Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined. The mixture will be thick.
- Set the Mixture: Spread the chocolate and Cool Whip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Cut into Squares: Once set, remove the mixture from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into approximately 36 small squares.
- Freeze Again: Place the squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
- Melt Coating Chocolate: Melt the chocolate almond bark or melting wafers according to the package instructions until smooth.
- Coat the Squares: Using a fork, dip each frozen square into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated candies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the Coating: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or place the candies in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Store and Serve: Once set, store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- For a different flavor, consider using dark chocolate or white chocolate for the coating.
- To add texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles on top of the candies before the chocolate sets.
- These candies can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
