What equipment is needed to make the candy recipe?

Can I use a different type of candy melt in place of dark chocolate?
Yes! We like dark chocolate wafers, but they come in so many colors. You can pick anything that fits your theme. Choose from pink, blue, yellow, white, or anything else you like.
What is the best way to melt the chocolate for the recipe?
The easiest way is to use the microwave and heat it for 30 seconds – 1 minute at a time. Then stir and heat some more. The biggest thing to consider is overheating the chocolate, or it will seize. Once it’s about 70% melted, just stir it constantly until it finishes melting.
Ingredients:
- Dark chocolate melting candy wafers
- Milk chocolate chips
- Cool Whip topping

Can I swap the Cool Whip?
While you probably could swap it, I don’t recommend switching it out for anything else.
How long should the candy be cooled before serving?
You really just need to let it cool until it is set up. It takes about 30 minutes – 1 hour. To speed it up, place it in the freezer until it’s hard.
How should the candy be stored once it is made?
Keep the cool whip candy refrigerated or frozen when you aren’t serving. It needs to be kept cold, or it will spoil quickly.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yep! They will last up to 1 week in the fridge. Be sure not to let the 3 ingredient cool whip candy sit out longer than an hour or two at a time. Refrigerating or freezing is always best.
Are there any variations to this recipe that I can try?
- Mix in some cranberries or raisins for a fun flavor.
- Consider adding some chopped almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts, or your favorite nut.
- Swap out the flavor of chocolate you are using. It can be mint chocolate, white, or milk chocolate.
