Easy Cool Whip Candy 
Ingredients:
1 container (8 oz) of Cool Whip, thawed
1 small box (3.4 oz) of instant pudding mix (choose your favorite flavor)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Food coloring (optional, for customization)
Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional, for decoration)
Directions:
Get ready:
Make sure your Cool Whip is completely thawed and gather all ingredients. This ensures smooth mixing without lumps.
Combine the ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, blend the Cool Whip, pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand whisk or mixer on low speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and creamy—similar to a frosting-like consistency.
Add a pop of color (optional):
For a festive touch, mix in a few drops of your favorite food coloring. Stir well to ensure an even color throughout the mixture.
Prepare the tray:
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment or wax paper. This prevents sticking as the candies freeze.
Shape the candies:
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop dollops of the mixture onto the prepared tray. Adjust the size of the candies to your preference.
Decorate (optional):
Sprinkle each candy with colored sugar or festive sprinkles for added texture and visual appeal.
Freeze until firm:
Place the tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours, or until the candies are fully set. The freezing process creates a delightful contrast between the creamy center and frozen exterior.
Enjoy your treat:
Once firm, remove the candies from the freezer and serve immediately. Their creamy texture paired with a cool crunch is simply irresistible!
