Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 3 cups (525 grams) milk chocolate chips
- 24 ounces (680 grams) chocolate almond bark or chocolate melting wafers
Cream Ingredient:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking dish with overhanging edges to facilitate easy candy removal.
- Gently melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at brief intervals until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Allow the molten chocolate to cool momentarily, then incorporate thawed Cool Whip, blending thoroughly until creating a dense, homogeneous mixture.
- Transfer the chocolate-Cool Whip blend into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to create a smooth surface.
- Chill the mixture in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, ensuring the confection becomes completely solid and firm.
- Extract the frozen slab from the pan using parchment overhang, then slice into uniform, bite-sized squares.
- Arrange the cut pieces on a parchment-lined tray, returning them to the freezer for an additional chilling period.
- Melt chocolate almond bark or specialized coating wafers using precise temperature control to maintain a glossy, liquid texture.
- Delicately submerge each frozen square into the melted chocolate coating, gently tapping to remove excess and create a pristine finish.
- Position the enrobed candies on the parchment sheet, allowing the chocolate shell to solidify naturally or expedite the process through refrigeration.
- Once completely set, transfer the confections to an airtight storage container, maintaining them in the refrigerator or freezer to preserve texture and flavor.
Notes
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to ensure a smoother mixing process and better texture consistency.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, more luxurious flavor profile in your candies.
- Experiment with different chocolate varieties like dark or white chocolate to create unique taste variations.
- For a lighter version, substitute low-fat Cool Whip and use sugar-free chocolate chips to reduce calories.
