Instructions
- Chocolate Preparation: Melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30-45 seconds until smooth and liquid.
- Pan Setup: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, covering bottom and sides completely.
- Mixture Creation: Blend melted milk chocolate with Cool Whip until uniformly combined, embracing the natural chocolate flake formation during mixing.
- Pan Layering: Spread the chocolate-Cool Whip mixture evenly across the parchment-lined pan, creating a consistent 1/2-inch thick layer.
- Freezing Process: Freeze the mixture for 25-35 minutes until completely firm and solidified.

- Final Preservation: Place chocolate-coated candies on a fresh parchment-lined tray and return to freezer until serving, maintaining optimal coldness to preserve texture and flavor.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Microwave chocolate in short intervals, stirring gently to prevent burning and ensure smooth, even melting.
- Pan Preparation Precision: Line baking pan completely with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of candies.
- Texture Expectations: Small chocolate flakes during mixing are normal and won’t affect the final candy quality.
- Freezing and Storage Strategy: Keep candies frozen until serving to maintain ideal texture and prevent melting.
