Ingredients
Scale
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and the thawed whipped topping. Mix them gently until they are just combined and the mixture is smooth. Do not overmix.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut.
Remove the mixture from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut the slab into small, bite-sized squares.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Dip each candy square into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork to lift the candy out of the chocolate.
Place the chocolate-coated candies back onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for faster setting.
Store the finished cool whip candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for the coating.
If you want a slightly firmer texture, freeze the cut squares for 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate.
This recipe is a great budget friendly sweet treat for holiday baking trays.
