Description

This easy Cool Whip Candy is a delightful no-bake Easter treat featuring a light, creamy center made from whipped topping and pastel candy melts swirled together and frozen. The candy is then dipped in a smooth, sweet white almond bark coating, resulting in a perfect combination of fluffy texture and a crisp chocolate shell. Ideal for Easter dessert trays, spring parties, or anytime you need a quick, freezer-friendly candy.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz whipped topping, thawed
  • 12 oz pink candy melts
  • 12 oz yellow candy melts
  • 12 oz green candy melts
  • 1 lb white almond bark
  • Easter sprinkles, optional but recommended

Instructions

  1. Melt Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Repeat this process separately with the yellow and green candy melts in their own bowls.
  2. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  3. Combine Whipped Topping and Candy Melts: Add 4 ounces of whipped topping to each bowl of melted candy melts. Fold the mixtures gently until fully combined, ensuring the mixture remains fluffy and not dense.
  4. Swirl the Mixture: Quickly spoon dollops of each colored mixture into the prepared pan. Use a knife to swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect. Smooth the top evenly.
  5. Freeze the Candy: Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow the candy to set firmly.
  6. Melt Almond Bark: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white almond bark in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
  7. Cut and Dip Candy: Remove the set candy from the freezer and cut it into 20 to 24 equal pieces. Using two forks, dip each piece into the melted almond bark coating. Place each dipped piece onto a parchment-lined tray.
  8. Add Sprinkles and Set: Immediately sprinkle the dipped candies with Easter sprinkles before the coating sets. Repeat dipping and sprinkling for all pieces.
  9. Chill to Set Coating: Place the dipped candies in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to fully set the almond bark shell. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a striped look, layer the mixtures instead of swirling.
  • Add crushed Easter candies on top for extra texture and flavor.
  • Dip set candies in a second layer of almond bark or melted chocolate for a thicker coating.
  • Change the candy melt colors to fit other holidays like Christmas, Halloween, or the Fourth of July.
  • Flavor variations can be added with a drop of peppermint or lemon extract.
  • If candy melts are unavailable, use white chocolate chips combined with food coloring as an alternative.
