Ingredients

11.5 ounces bags of milk chocolate chips
8 ounces tub of frozen whipped topping thawed at room temperature
10 ounces bag of ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided

Instructions

Prepare a 8x8 pan with parchment paper. See notes for general tips
Add the chocolate chips to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% powder for 1 minute. When done, stir well and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Microwave on 50% powder for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is silky smooth. When done, remove from the microwave.
Add whipped topping to the melted chocolates and stir well using a rubber spatula. Stir until the mixture is fully combined. It will be thick.
Pour mixture into the 8x8 dish, scraping the sides of the bowl with the rubber spatula. Be sure to gather all of the mixture.
Use the spatula to press down and out, make the mixture flush against the edges of the dish and into the corners. Smooth evenly to create a flat surface.
Place the dish inside the refrigerator and let it chill for 6 hours or overnight.
When the dish has finished chilling, remove it from the 8x8 pan by pulling up on the side of parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to make 5 cuts on either side. This will create about 1-½ inch pieces.
Place each individual piece onto a large baking dish. Place that dish inside the refrigerator and allow it to chill while you work step 9.
Add the chocolate wafers to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% powder for 1 minute. When done, stir well and add the remaining vegetable oil. Microwave on 50% powder for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is silky smooth. When done, remove from the microwave.
Using two forks or dipping tools, dip each candy piece into the melted chocolate, covering it completely before placing it back on the baking sheet.
Repeat this process, working one piece at a time. When all candies are covered in chocolate, place back inside the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage:

To Store: Leftover candy pieces can be covered and stored in the fridge for 5-7 days.
To Freeze: Wrap your candy in a double layer of plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for 1-2 months.

Tips:

This candy is best served chilled.
Store these candies inside the refrigerator when you are not serving them.
When cutting these candies into squares, consider washing the knife half way. These slice best when cut with a clean edge.
You can cut these candies into 3x1 inch fun sized bars or 6x1 full sized bars depending on what you size want.
When mixing the melted chocolate and whipped topping, the mixture solidifies quickly.
Be sure to use milk chocolate for the inside of this recipe to get the full 3-musketeer effect. If you use dark chocolate, the mixture will be extremely dark and won’t look like the real thing.
