Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
  • Thaw Cool Whip properly before using—it should be soft but still cold.
  • Freeze before cutting and dipping to keep the candy firm and easy to handle.
  • Work quickly when dipping to prevent melting and ensure an even coating.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Customize flavors by adding extracts like peppermint, vanilla, or almond.
  • Garnish options: Sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or drizzle with caramel for extra flair!
