Make this incredibly simple, no-bake Cool Whip Candy that tastes like a 3 Musketeers bar. This recipe uses only three ingredients for a light, fluffy chocolate-coated treat perfect for quick snacks or holiday trays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the thawed whipped topping and the instant chocolate pudding mix. Stir gently until just combined and the mixture is uniform in color. Do not overmix.
  2. Fold in the 1 cup of powdered sugar until it is fully incorporated into the whipped topping mixture.
  3. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Press the candy mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
  4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
  5. Once frozen, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the candy block out of the dish. Cut the block into small, bite-sized squares (about 1 inch).
  6. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate according to package directions, usually in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
  7. Dip each frozen candy square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated candies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. If desired, immediately sprinkle the tops with a light dusting of powdered sugar before the chocolate sets.
  9. Return the coated candies to the freezer until the chocolate coating is completely firm. Store frozen until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For the best 3 Musketeers copycat texture, make sure your whipped topping is fully thawed but still cold when mixing.
  • If you want a slightly different flavor, you can use vanilla instant pudding mix instead of chocolate for a lighter nougat center before dipping in chocolate.
  • If you are making this for a party, you can cut the frozen block into small rectangles to mimic the shape of a candy bar.
