Print Recipe

Welcome this simple, no-bake Cool Whip Candy into your kitchen! This recipe creates a light, fluffy center, similar to a 3 Musketeers bar, coated in chocolate. It is a fast, budget-friendly sweet perfect for holiday trays or last-minute dessert needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar and the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix, or the mixture will deflate.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. Freeze the mixture for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  5. Once frozen solid, lift the block out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut the block into small, bite-sized squares.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  7. Dip each frozen candy square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You can use a fork or a toothpick to handle the pieces.
  8. Place the coated candies back onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Refrigerate the candies until the chocolate coating is set, about 15 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure your whipped topping is fully thawed but still cold when mixing with the sugar.
  • If you want a slightly different flavor, substitute milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet ones in the coating.
  • This recipe is excellent for making ahead of time; keep the finished candy frozen for the best texture.
