Easy Cool Whip Candy
Ingredients:
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, based on preference)
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional, for coating)
Instructions:
-
Mix the Base:
- In a large bowl, combine the Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. Stir until well combined.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
-
Shape the Candies:
- Using your hands or a small spoon, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball or shape it into small squares. If the mixture is too sticky, you can dust your hands with a little powdered sugar to help with shaping.
-
Optional Chocolate Coating:
- If you’d like to coat the candies in chocolate, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip each candy ball or square into the melted chocolate and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you prefer, you can drizzle the chocolate over the candy instead of dipping.
-
Chill:
- Place the shaped candies (either coated in chocolate or plain) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill them in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until firm.
-
Serve:
- Once the candies have set, remove them from the fridge and serve! You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Serving Suggestions:
- These candies make a great treat for parties, holidays, or just a sweet snack. You can serve them in cute gift boxes or containers for a simple homemade gift.
- Add toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles on top of the chocolate coating for extra flavor and decoration!
