You'll Only Need Three Items

  • Cool Whip: The key ingredient in our chocolate bites.
  • Milk Chocolate: Forms the smooth inside of these cool whip chocolate treats.

Prep Steps

Begin With Melting
For outstanding cool whip chocolate treats, melt chocolate gradually in your microwave. Cool it down a little - waiting leads to better results!
Combine Everything
This gets exciting now - gently fold that melted chocolate into your cool whip. Don't worry if it looks strange at first, just keep mixing!
Freezing Period
Put your mixture in a pan and stick it in the freezer. This helps when you're cutting it into bite-sized pieces later.
Coating Process
Now your cool whip chocolate treats get elegant - dunk each piece in melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drop off for clean edges.
Last Step
Allow your treats to harden in the freezer. They taste best when eaten cold!

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why do I freeze the filling first?

It makes the filling firm so you can cut and dip it in chocolate without it falling apart.

→ What kind of chocolate works best?

You can use different types, but something like Ghirardelli ensures smooth melting and great flavor.

→ How long will these candies last?

If you keep them in the freezer, they'll stay fresh for about a month. Serve them cold for the best taste.

→ Can I shape these into balls?

Sure! Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment, freeze them, then coat in chocolate.

That’s normal—just keep folding gently. The little bits add some texture to the candy.
