Homemade Three Musketeers – only 3 ingredients! These taste just like the real thing and they are so easy!
This right here is the easiest candy recipe you will ever see.
(It will be even easier for you than it was for me because I know you don’t suck at melting chocolate. I, however, consider myself lucky that I got 2 decent looking bars. Someone come give me chocolate melting lessons. Please.)
So I don’t love Three Musketeers. I think it is the lamest candy bar. I mean, have you ever heard someone say, “Wow, I’m really craving a Three Musketeers”? Yeah, I haven’t either. BUT I saw this recipe on Beantown Baker almost a year ago and I remember tweeting about it.
It’s not often that I remember tweeting something. That recipe made a serious impression on me.
When I set out to do Halloween week, I immediately thought of the recipe. I pulled it up, saw the super short ingredient list, and made it that day.
They taste exactly like a Three Musketeers bar only better because hello! homemade. It’s got that bizarre spongy texture that the store-bought version has! Who knew Cool Whip and melted chocolate could create that! I’m so in love with these, y’all.
Ingredients
- Cool Whip
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- Milk chocolate chips
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare. Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with wax paper.
- Melt chocolate. In a medium bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave at fifty percent power, or use a double boiler.
- Add Cool Whip. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat melted chocolate for about 30 seconds. Add Cool Whip to melted chocolate and beat until well combined and fluffy, 30-60 seconds more.
- Transfer to pan. Spread chocolate mixture evenly into prepared pan (if mixture is too stiff, press into pan with lightly dampened hands).
- Chill. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
- Cut into squares. Remove pan from freezer and turn chocolate mixture onto a cutting board; cut into one-inch squares. Return squares to freezer for another 15-20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate. Meanwhile, melt milk chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir until well combined.
- Coat in chocolate. Dip frozen chocolate squares into melted chocolate to coat. Place on wax paper to set.
- Store. Keep chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

3 Musketeers ARE my favourites – we never could get them in Australia when I was growing up so trips to the US always involved many of them! I will be making these soon!
Kelli Henderson says
I suck at melting chocolate in the microwave….but I will drag out the double boiler for this one! Three Musketeers are my favorite!
Thanks!

Funny that you say 3 muskateers is the lamest chocolate bar. I have to agree, pretty low on my list of chocolate bars. One of the last to be eaten in my Halloween candy bag growing up! But homemade? That beats everything!
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says
I had a craving for Three Musketeers just the other day (I blame the Halloween holiday!).
I never would have thought to try to make my own. Yum!
natalie (the sweets life) says
I’m so intrigued! I definitely need to try this sometime!
leah says
I made these and the whippedcream melted immediately on contact, and the whole mixture was just too liquidy. I had to throw it out . Any suggestions?
amanda says
My Cool Whip fell a little bit when I added the chocolate but it set back up in the freezer. Maybe beat the chocolate a little bit longer next time so it has extra time to cool? Let me know if you try again and how it works out! Thanks for reading! :)

Actually, 3 Musketeers is my favorite candy bar and I crave them all the time!
Veronica Miller says
I’ve got this recipe saved on Pinterest! I know my hubby would thank me–must try! Yours look fantastic–that filling. Oh man.
nicole says
cute!!! I like 3M bars but I would rather have a resee’s, but I think these would be fun to make.
Connie says
Hmm…I I have said “boy am I craving a 3 muskateers”..but then I crave almost all foods so I am not a good example. :)
I wonder if I could use real whipped cream. Too many hydros in the frozen stuff. Yummy but I am eliminating them from my menu because I cook for kids and they get enough of it in other things.
Looks great.
Lisa @ The Cooking Bride says
I have to use a double boiler. I can’t microwave chocolate – it always gets burned! I had no idea you could make your own Three Musketeers! I’m excited to try this.
Aunt Micki says
Girl, you are KILLING me with all these YUMMY posts lately!!! I want to make them ALL, but I am SO not good at making candy…..
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says

Heather says
These have been on my ‘to do” list too. More out of curiosity than a deep love for Three Musketeers. Yours look super yummy.
Cassie says
I don’t love 3 Musketeers, at ALL. I think it’s a texture thing for me. These look AWESOME, though, and I love that the filling is Cool Whip and melted chocolate. Can’t wait to try these!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts says
Yum!! I used almost this same recipe for a base for Milky Way’s once. It was so good! And yours look great!!
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
Are you kidding me? My husband LOVES 3 Musketeers! I have never made it because candy themometers scare me. So making this.
