Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 bags milk chocolate chips (22 ounces / 624 grams total)
- 24 ounces (680 grams) good quality dark chocolate melting wafers
- 1 8-ounce (226 grams) tub Cool Whip whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe bowl and melt milk chocolate chips by heating in 30 to 45-second intervals, gently stirring between each heating cycle until completely smooth and liquid.
- Take an 8-inch by 8-inch (20 cm by 20 cm) baking pan and carefully line the interior with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of bottom and sides.
- Gradually incorporate the melted milk chocolate into the Cool Whip, mixing thoroughly. Expect the mixture to develop small chocolate flakes during the blending process, which is completely normal.
- Transfer the chocolate and Cool Whip mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, spreading evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer approximately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.
- Place the pan in the freezer and allow the mixture to solidify for 25 to 35 minutes until firm and completely set.
- Remove the frozen chocolate mixture from the freezer and slice into uniform square pieces using a sharp knife, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in size.
- Melt dark chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 15-second intervals and stirring between each cycle to prevent burning.
- Carefully dip each frozen chocolate square into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, and place on a fresh parchment-lined tray.
- Return the chocolate-coated candies to the freezer and store until ready to serve, maintaining a consistent cold temperature to preserve texture and flavor.
