Seriously Easy 3-Ingredient No-Bake Cool Whip Candy Recipe

5 from 13 reviews

A delightfully easy and quick no-bake candy made with just three main ingredients: marshmallow fluff, Cool Whip, and your favorite crushed candies. Perfect for creating sweet, fluffy treats without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Candy Base

  • 225 g Marshmallow Fluff (1 cup / 8 oz)
  • 225 g Cool Whip or frozen whipped topping, thawed (1 cup / 8 oz)

Mix-ins

  • 60 g Crushed candies (½ cup), such as peppermint, mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, sprinkles, or crushed shortbread cookies

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mixing Bowl: Grab a nice big mixing bowl to ensure you have plenty of room to combine ingredients without spills.
  2. Add Base Ingredients: Add the entire container of marshmallow fluff and the thawed Cool Whip to the bowl.
  3. Blend Smoothly: Gently fold these together with a spatula until the mixture is super smooth and completely combined. Optionally, use a hand mixer on the lowest setting briefly, but be careful not to overmix as that can deflate the fluff.
  4. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold your choice of crushed candies into the mixture using a spatula, distributing them evenly without beating to maintain fluffiness.
  5. Prepare Tray or Molds: Line a small tray (like an 8×8 pan) with parchment paper or use silicone molds. Pour the mixture in and spread it evenly. If making candy balls, you can shape now or after chilling.
  6. Chill the Candy: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to achieve the right candy consistency. For quicker results, chill in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until firm enough to handle or slice.
  7. Cut or Shape: Once firm, lift the mixture out using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles if using a tray. If making balls, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using clean hands or a cookie scoop.
  8. Serve and Store: Arrange candies on a serving platter and keep them chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use any crushed candies or mix-ins according to your preference for customized flavors and textures.
  • Do not overmix to maintain the fluffy texture of the candy base.
  • Chilling time is crucial for firm candy consistency; do not skip or reduce significantly.
  • If making balls, chilling partially before shaping can make rolling easier.
  • Store leftover candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
