SWAPS
Some people will dip these in white chocolate for the holiday season. We suggest using good-quality chocolate morsels as they bring out the best flavor in this candy. Also you can’t use whipped cream in this recipe, cool whip is more stable and works for no bake desserts. Whipped cream will become soupy over time.
⭐TIP
You don’t have to cut these into squares; you can drop them by spoonfuls onto parchment paper, put them in the fridge, and then dip them. The chocolate hardens very fast, so if you plan to decorate them, add sprinkles right after dipping them.

Cool Whip Candy – 3 Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce Cool Whip thawed
- 2 bags milk chocolate chips 11 ounces bag (or close to it)
- 24 ounces of premium chocolate melting wafers we used Ghirardelli dark but you can use white or milk
Instructions
- Thaw cool whip (we thawed it in the refrigerator and then set it out for about 15 minutes)
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips. Melt for about 30 seconds, then stir and continue that cycle until they are fully melted.
- Stir thawed cool whip into the milk chocolate chips. Keep stirring until fully combined. Line an 8X8 baking dish with parchment paper and pour cool whip mixture into it. Spread out evenly with a knife. Put in the freezer for a few hours.
- Remove from freezer and cut into small squares. Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave (using the same steps from above, 30 seconds at a time). Dip each square into the chocolate and place on parchment paper to harden. Top with sprinkles if desired.
- We keep these in the refrigerator, we like them cold.

Think I can use zero sugar cool whip, and Lilly’s chocolate chips?
I don’t see why you couldnt.
This sounds delicious. I’m wondering if dark chocolate morsels would be an okay swap?
You can try it, but it may give too much of a rich chocolate taste. If you want it to be more like the candy bar, then you will want to use milk chocolate.
is chocolate wafers same as chocolate chips can you use almond bark
I’m they are similar but the wafers are designed for dipping and covering things. They hold their consistency better.
Do you need 2 – 11 oz. Bags of chocolate or a total of 11 oz
2 bags.
Do you need to keep these in the fridge or freezer? I wanted to bring them to a Christmas candy exchange.
I keep them in the fridge! They would be fine out for a bit.
Can you used whipped cream? I don’t use CW—too many chemicals.
No, Cool Whip is way more stable than whipped cream, which makes it ideal for no bake desserts. Real whipped cream will be come soupy over time and not hold it’s structure.
