Description
A friend of ours dropped by one day with a few of these to share. He got the recipe from his grandmother. There are very few recipes i make using cool whip but this is now one of them. I looked up cool whip candy here on zaar & there are a couple others posted but they use different cookies and hershey candy bars. I liked that this recipe uses chocolate chips, as they melt faster & i could buy a brand that i favor over hershey. We store the truffles in a large resealable bag in the freezer & just grab one or two whenever we have a bit of a sweet tooth. Aside from some heavy duty stirring this recipe is very kid friendly. Cook time is chill time.
