White Chocolate Version

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place chocolate chips in a medium, microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring often, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn them.
  2. Allow melted chocolate chips to cool for 15-20 minutes or until room temp.
  3. Add cool whip to melted chocolate and stir until completely blended.
  4. Transfer mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish that has been lined with parchment paper. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from freezer. Using access parchment paper, lift frozen chocolate mixture out of baking dish.
  6. Using a sharp knife, cut chocolate into 1-1 ½ - inch squares. Place them back in the freezer on parchment paper for an additional hour.
  7. Melt almond bark in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring often, until melted and smooth.
  8. Using a fork, dip each candy piece into the melted almond bark, covering it completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Continue with remaining candy pieces.
  9. Place the opposite color of almond bark in a small microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring often, until melted and smooth.
  10. Carefully transfer melted almond bark to a small resealable bag. Cut a small corner off of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over top of candy pieces.
  11. Allow all chocolate to harden. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage directions: Store your Cool Whip Candies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. You don’t want to store them in the refrigerator or they will become too soft.
  • Mix gently: Don’t overmix the melted chocolate and Cool Whip. You want it to stay nice and fluffy to preserve its texture as it freezes.
  • Don’t let the Cool Whip get warm: If it gets too warm, it will “deflate” and become soupy. Stir it into the chocolate while it’s still cold.
  • Try a silicone mold: Make fun shapes by placing the Cool Whip mixture into a silicone mold.
