Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, mix the thawed whipped topping and powdered sugar together until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm enough to cut.
- Once firm, lift the filling out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into small, bite-sized squares.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each frozen square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You can use a fork or dipping tool.
- Place the coated candy pieces back onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Return the tray to the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate coating is set.
Notes
- For a firmer center, you can return the cut squares to the freezer for 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate.
- If you want a slightly richer flavor, substitute half of the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips when melting.
- This recipe is excellent for holiday dessert trays and is a budget friendly candy option.
