Ingredients :
- 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip, thawed
- 12 ounces melting chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut (optional)
Directions :
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

- Freeze the tray for at least 1 hour or until the dollops are firm and frozen solid.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in 20-30 second intervals and stir until it’s smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
- Take the frozen Cool Whip dollops out of the freezer and dip each piece into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool.
- Place the coated pieces back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If you like, add sprinkles, nuts, or shredded coconut on top while the chocolate is still soft.
- Put the tray back in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate sets, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Once set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for up to one week.
