Cooking Tips
If you’re short on time, you can use pre-made chocolate shell instead of melting dark chocolate wafers. It saves a step and gives a similar delicious finish. You could also test out other flavors of chocolate chips, like peanut butter or white chocolate, for an exciting twist!
Serving Suggestions
These candy squares are perfect for serving at parties. You might consider garnishing them with a sprinkle of sea salt before the chocolate sets. For an added touch, serve them alongside fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas, or pair them with a scoop of ice cream for a delicious dessert platter!
Ingredient Substitutions
If you don’t have Cool Whip on hand, you can substitute it with whipped cream or make your own whipped topping. For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt, although it may alter the texture and flavor slightly.
Seasonal Variations
As the seasons change, feel free to get creative! In spring, add in crushed peppermint candy for a minty finish. During fall, mixing in crushed pumpkin spice candies or butterscotch chips can deliver a cozy flavor that’s perfect for the holidays.
Allergen Information
This recipe contains dairy from the chocolate chips and Cool Whip. If you need a dairy-free option, look for non-dairy chocolate and coconut-based whipped topping, which can work just as well and still provide that creamy sweetness without the dairy!
