Ingredients
- 2 – 11.5 ounce bags milk chocolate chips
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
- 8 ounces chocolate bark
- 8 ounces white chocolate bark
- Coconut oil (if needed)
- Christmas-themed sprinkles
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the chocolate
Start by melting your milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth. This step is key—don’t overheat the chocolate, or it may seize up.
Pro tip: Let the melted chocolate cool to room temperature before adding the Cool Whip. If it’s too hot, the mixture will turn lumpy (and I’ve learned this the hard way!).
Step 2: Mix and chill
Once the chocolate has cooled, fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined. The texture will be thick and creamy. Pop the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Scoop and freeze
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the truffle mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for one hour to make the next steps easier.
Step 4: Shape the truffles
Remove the scoops from the freezer and quickly roll them into smooth balls. Place them back in the freezer while you prepare the coatings.
Step 5: Coat in chocolate
Melt your chocolate bark and white chocolate bark in separate bowls. If needed, stir in a small amount of coconut oil to thin the chocolate. Use a fork to dip half of the truffles in the milk chocolate and the other half in the white chocolate. Set them back on the parchment to harden.
Step 6: Decorate!
Drizzle white chocolate over the milk chocolate truffles and vice versa, then top with sprinkles. Be quick—once the chocolate hardens, the sprinkles won’t stick.
Notes
Serving ideas: Make them shine
For a holiday party, arrange the truffles on a tiered dessert tray alongside other treats like cookies and fudge. You can also box them up in festive tins or cellophane bags with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift. If you’re feeling fancy, dust the plate with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a snowy effect.
