Prep Time

• 10 minutes

Chill Time

• 1 hour 30 minutes

Total Time

• 1 hour 40 minutes

Servings

• 12–16 pieces

Ingredients

• 6 cups milk chocolate chips , divided (about 3½ cups for the filling, 2½ cups for coating)
• 8 oz Cool Whip , thawed
• 1½ tablespoons vegetable shortening

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate for the Filling

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 3½ cups of milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals , stirring between each interval, until completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

Step 2: Mix in the Cool Whip

1. Add the thawed Cool Whip to the melted chocolate.
2. Use a hand mixer or whisk to combine until the mixture is smooth, light, and fluffy. This will create the creamy, marshmallow-like filling.

Step 3: Press into a Pan

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy removal.
2. Spread the chocolate-Cool Whip mixture evenly into the prepared pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula to smooth the top.
3. Freeze the mixture for 30 minutes , or until firm.

Step 4: Slice into Pieces

1. Remove the pan from the freezer and lift the mixture out using the parchment paper or plastic wrap.
2. Cut the chilled mixture into rectangular bars or squares, similar to the size of a 3 Musketeers bar.
3. Place the cut pieces on a parchment-lined tray and freeze again for 30 minutes , or until solid.

Step 5: Coat the Candy

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 2½ cups of milk chocolate chips with the vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals , stirring until smooth. The shortening helps thin the chocolate for a glossy, even coating.
2. Dip each frozen candy piece into the melted chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to coat it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate.
3. Place the coated candies back on the parchment-lined tray.

Step 6: Chill and Set

1. Freeze the coated candies for 1 hour , or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 7: Enjoy!

1. Remove the candies from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
2. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 2 weeks .

Pro Tips

• Chocolate Options: Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a less sweet coating.
• Coating Hack: If you don’t want to dip the candies, spread the melted chocolate over the top of the uncut slab, chill, then slice into bars.
• Add-Ins: Sprinkle crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt on top of the chocolate coating for extra flair.
