3 Musketeers Copycat Recipe

I love making this recipe because it’s so simple and only requires just a few ingredients! Each one is easy to find at your local grocery store. You can have this ready to eat in just under an hour. But, don’t worry, it’s mostly waiting and freezing time, so you can go about your business until they are ready. This is a treat that you will want to make by the hundreds!

Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Chocolate: You will need milk chocolate and dark chocolate melting wafers.

Cool Whip: You can use this or a homemade whipped topping.

How To Make Cool Whip Candy

Step 1. Add the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and melt for 1 minute in the microwave. Mix and heat again for an additional 30 seconds until smooth. Let the chocolate cool for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Use parchment paper to line an 8-inch square baking dish. Place it aside. Add the melted chocolate and thawed cool whip into a large bowl and fold to combine until fully incorporated. The chocolate may have hardened bits, but that’s fine. Pour into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.
