Make this incredibly simple, no-bake Cool Whip Candy that tastes just like a fluffy 3 Musketeers bar. It requires only three main ingredients and is perfect for quick holiday treats or any time you need an easy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (dry mix only)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the thawed whipped topping and the dry instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix, or the texture will deflate.
  2. Shape the candy: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheet, forming small, uniform mounds about 1 inch wide. You should get about 20 to 24 pieces.
  3. Freeze the filling: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the mounds are completely firm. This step is crucial for easy dipping.
  4. Melt the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening (or coconut oil). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  5. Dip the candy: Remove the frozen mounds from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, quickly dip each frozen mound into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated candy back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Set the coating: Return the dipped candy to the freezer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set firm.
  7. Serve and store: Serve the Cool Whip Candy immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For a true 3 Musketeers copycat flavor, ensure you use instant vanilla pudding mix, not the cook-and-serve type.
  • If you want a thicker chocolate shell, you can double the amount of chocolate chips and shortening used for the coating.
  • This is a great kid-friendly dessert idea since it involves no oven time.
