Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Dust the parchment paper lightly with powdered sugar.
- In a medium bowl, gently fold the thawed whipped topping with 1 cup of powdered sugar until just combined. Do not overmix; you want to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Press the whipped topping mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, use the parchment overhang to lift the candy block out of the pan. Cut the block into small, bite-sized squares.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each candy square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped candies onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or briefly in the refrigerator. Store the finished Cool Whip Candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips for dipping.
- If you want a texture closer to a classic nougat, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped topping mixture.
- This recipe is excellent for making ahead for holiday candy trays.
