Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 23 ounces milk chocolate chips (2 bags, recommended: Ghirardelli)
  • 1 (8-ounce) tub Cool Whip, thawed

Chocolate Coating

  • 30 ounces dark melting wafers (2 1/2 bags, recommended: Ghirardelli)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to lift out the candy once set.
  2. Melt Milk Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Combine with Cool Whip: Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly to avoid melting the Cool Whip, then fold the Cool Whip into the chocolate until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Spread Mixture: Pour and spread the chocolate and Cool Whip mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top for an even surface.
  5. Freeze Candy Base: Freeze the pan for at least 2 hours until the mixture is firm to the touch and properly set for cutting.
  6. Cut into Squares: Remove the frozen candy from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 32 uniform squares. Place the squares back in the freezer to remain firm.
  7. Melt Dark Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until fully smooth and melted.
  8. Dip Candy Squares: Quickly dip each frozen square into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
  9. Place on Tray: Set the dipped squares on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking and allow the coating to set.
  10. Chill to Set Coating: Chill the coated squares in the refrigerator or freezer until the outer chocolate layer is firm and smooth, signaling the candy is ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the melted milk chocolate to cool slightly before mixing with Cool Whip to prevent melting or separation.
  • Work quickly when dipping squares in dark chocolate to ensure the coating sets evenly.
  • Store the finished candies in the freezer to maintain their texture and prevent melting.
  • For easier handling, keep candy squares frozen until immediately before dipping.
