How to Make 3 Ingredient Cool Whip Candy
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz tub frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter)
Directions
- Prepare a pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease if needed.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly so it’s not too hot.
- Fold in whipped topping: Add the thawed whipped topping to the cooled chocolate. Gently fold until fully combined and fluffy. It will look mousse-like.
- Chill the mixture: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Freeze: Place in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
- Cut and serve: Lift the candy block out using the parchment. Cut into small squares or rectangles. Store leftovers in the freezer (they soften at room temperature).
