Instructions

Melt Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for about 10 minutes to prevent the Cool Whip from melting upon mixing.
Combine Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cooled melted chocolate along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix carefully until fully combined and fluffy to keep the airy texture.
Freeze Filling: Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm to create the candy base.
Cut Candies: Once the mixture is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer and cut into bite-sized squares. Place the squares back in the freezer to keep them firm while preparing the coating.
Prepare Coating: Melt the chocolate coating or almond bark according to package instructions, ensuring it is smooth and runny for easy dipping.
Dip Candies: Using a fork, dip each frozen square into the melted coating, tapping off any excess chocolate to avoid pooling. Place the dipped candies on a parchment-lined tray for setting.
Set and Store: Chill the dipped candies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the coating is set. Store candies in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

For added texture and flavor, roll the candies in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or sprinkles before the coating sets.
To make a darker chocolate variant, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips.
