Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 package (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup melting chocolate wafers (for coating)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and the thawed whipped topping. Mix them together until they are just combined.
- Add the dry instant chocolate pudding mix to the bowl. Stir or beat on low speed until the mixture is fully incorporated and thick. Do not overmix.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Place the dish in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the candy is firm enough to cut.
- Once firm, remove the candy from the dish and cut it into small, bite-sized squares.
- Melt the chocolate wafers according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
- Dip each candy square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You can place them on a parchment-lined tray to set.
- If you want a quick set, place the chocolate-dipped candies back into the freezer for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Store your finished cool whip candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- For a different flavor, substitute the chocolate pudding mix with vanilla or butterscotch pudding mix.
- You can use white chocolate or milk chocolate for the coating.
- If you want a texture closer to a truffle, roll the frozen mixture into balls instead of cutting squares before dipping.
- This recipe is great for edible gifts because it is a foolproof candy recipe.
