❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes! Whip 1½ cups heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and fold in as a substitute.
Why is my mixture too soft?
Make sure you’re using full-fat whipped topping and avoid overmixing. Chilling longer helps firm it up.
What kind of candy bars work best?
Chewy or crunchy candy bars with caramel, nougat, or chocolate layers work beautifully.
