Ingredients:
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or your preferred nut butter)
- 1 ½ cups rice krispies or corn flakes (optional for texture)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the Cool Whip, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined. The mixture will be creamy and slightly thick.
2. Add Crunch (Optional):
- If you’re using rice krispies or corn flakes, fold them into the mixture for a crunchy texture. You can also add mini chocolate chips or any other mix-ins of your choice.
3. Shape the Candies:
- Use a spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or shape them into small mounds. Alternatively, you can drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to create candy clusters.
4. Chill the Candy:
- Place the shaped candies on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
5. Optional Decoration:
- Before the candy sets completely, you can sprinkle them with colored sugar or sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
Tips:
- Flavor Variations: Swap out peanut butter for almond butter, Nutella, or sunflower butter for a different flavor.
- Make Ahead: These candies keep well in the fridge for up to a week, making them perfect for prepping in advance.
- Toppings: For a sweeter treat, dip the candy in melted chocolate and let it harden before serving.
These easy Cool Whip candies are quick, fun, and a hit at any party or as a simple sweet snack!
