Ingredients
Scale
Primary Chocolate Ingredients:
- 2 11.5 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 8 ounces chocolate bark
- 8 ounces white chocolate bark
Topping Ingredient:
- Christmas-themed sprinkles
Creamy Base Ingredient:
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)
- Coconut oil (if needed)
Instructions
- Melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each cycle until chocolate reaches a smooth consistency. Avoid overheating to prevent seizing.
- Allow melted chocolate to cool to room temperature before incorporating Cool Whip to prevent lumpy texture.
- Gently fold Cool Whip into cooled chocolate until fully integrated, creating a thick and creamy mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion truffle mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for one hour to facilitate shaping.
- Remove chilled scoops and quickly roll into uniform spheres. Return rolled truffles to freezer during coating preparation.
- Separately melt chocolate bark and white chocolate bark, adding a touch of coconut oil if needed to achieve smooth consistency. Using a fork, dip half the truffles in milk chocolate and remaining half in white chocolate. Place coated truffles on parchment to solidify.
- Work swiftly to drizzle contrasting chocolate over each truffle – white chocolate on milk chocolate truffles and vice versa. Immediately garnish with festive sprinkles before chocolate sets completely.
Notes
- Prevent chocolate seizing by using gentle, short microwave intervals and stirring frequently to maintain smooth consistency.
- Cool chocolate completely before mixing with Cool Whip to ensure a creamy, lump-free texture that sets perfectly.
- Add coconut oil sparingly when melting chocolate bark to create a thin, glossy coating that makes dipping truffles easier and more professional.
- Work quickly when adding sprinkles, as chocolate hardens fast and prevents decorations from sticking to the truffle surface.
