Notes
You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite mix-ins such as crushed cookies or dried fruit.
Ensure that the chocolate is completely cool before folding it into the Cool Whip to prevent melting the whipped topping.
These can be made a day ahead; just keep them stored in the freezer until ready to serve.
