You can make this incredibly simple Cool Whip candy with just three ingredients. It creates light, fluffy chocolate bites that taste like a homemade 3 Musketeers bar. This no-bake recipe is perfect for quick holiday candy trays or satisfying a sweet craving fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers (for coating, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the thawed whipped topping, instant chocolate pudding mix, and powdered sugar. Mix these ingredients together until the mixture is uniform and thick.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared sheet, forming small mounds or balls.
  3. Place the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze the candy mounds for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm enough to handle.
  4. If you are coating the candy, melt the milk chocolate wafers according to package directions.
  5. Dip each frozen candy mound into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated candies back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. If you skip the chocolate coating, dust the frozen mounds generously with extra powdered sugar for a simple finish.
  7. Return the finished Cool Whip candy to the freezer until the chocolate coating sets, or serve immediately if not coated. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, use vanilla or butterscotch instant pudding mix instead of chocolate.
  • If you want a true 3 Musketeers copycat, use vanilla pudding mix for the center and dip the frozen pieces in melted milk chocolate.
  • You can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture for extra flavor depth.
