- 1 package (12 ounces) chocolate chips
- 1 package (12 ounces) almond bark or candy melts
Flavoring Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish Ingredients:
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
Instructions
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prepare a smooth landing surface for the candies.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, create uniform dollops of Cool Whip directly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for 60 minutes or until the Cool Whip dollops become completely solid.
- Select a microwave-safe bowl and combine chocolate chips with almond bark, melting in 30-second increments while stirring between intervals until achieving a silky consistency.
- Optional: Incorporate vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture for enhanced flavor.
- Extract the frozen Cool Whip dollops from the freezer.
- Carefully submerge each dollop into the warm chocolate using a fork, ensuring complete coverage and allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Gently return the chocolate-coated candies onto the parchment-lined tray.
- Swiftly add decorative elements like sprinkles or chopped nuts before the chocolate solidifies.
- Let candies set at room temperature or accelerate the process by refrigerating for 15-20 minutes until completely firm.
- Present and savor the delightful Cool Whip candies.
Notes
- Chill baking sheet beforehand to help Cool Whip dollops maintain shape faster during freezing.
- Use high-quality chocolate for richer flavor and smoother coating that adheres better to frozen dollops.
- Work quickly when dipping frozen Cool Whip in chocolate to prevent melting and ensure clean, even coverage.
- Try different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate for varied taste experiences and visual appeal.
