- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)

- Optional food coloring and sprinkles make this recipe great for themed parties or holidays.
- Ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easier mixing and best texture.
- Store leftovers properly to keep candies fresh and prevent melting or becoming sticky.
