Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, for dipping
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and peanut butter until fully combined.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain and the mixture is light and uniform. Do not overmix.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Freeze the mixture for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
- Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the candy block out of the pan. Cut the block into small, bite-sized squares.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth.
- Dip each candy square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped candies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped candies until the chocolate coating is set. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- For the best texture, ensure your whipped topping is fully thawed but still cold when folding it in.
- If you want a slightly firmer candy, you can add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to the mixture.
- To make this a truly ‘melt in your mouth treat,’ keep the finished candies stored in the freezer.
