Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 ounces milk chocolate chips (preferably high quality, such as Guittard or Ghirardelli)
- 1 (8-ounce) container thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip brand recommended)
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (preferably high quality, such as Guittard or Ghirardelli)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Melt milk chocolate: Place the 24 ounces of milk chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Combine with whipped topping: Add the 8 ounces of thawed whipped topping to the melted milk chocolate. Gently fold the mixture until fully combined and smooth. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Chill the mixture: Place the baking pan in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes or until the mixture is fully chilled and firm enough to cut.
- Cut into squares: Remove the chilled candy slab from the pan and cut into 36 evenly sized squares. Return the squares to the freezer to keep them firm while preparing the dip.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips using the same 30-second interval method, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip candy pieces: Quickly dip each chilled candy square into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet or on a lightly greased wire rack positioned over parchment.
- Let chocolate set: Allow the dipped candies to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating hardens completely before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor and texture.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed for smooth mixing.
- Chilling the candy mixture well before dipping helps achieve a clean, smooth coating.
- The candy should be kept chilled until serving for the best texture.
- Store leftover candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for longer freshness.
