Homemade Three Musketeers made with 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.

I’ve been a chocoholic all my life. Somewhere around age 47ish , I started not craving it so much. But in all honesty, when I want it, I crave 3 Muskateers and that’s the only candy bar I’ll eat now when it hits. I do like the idea of the mint chips in it as an alternative too, because I do change it up every so often with the mint 3M’s.
This recipe sounds almost TOO do-able, so I’m going to have to be careful with it, lol.

I ran across your recipe for three musketeers and oh my gosh. I made some yesterday but I added 3/4 c of creamy peanut butter. My husband & kids loved them ,especially me. Thank you so much for posting your recipe. It’s hard to find good recipes that aren’t to sugary since I’m diabetic and this takes care of my candy fix. God Bless You!

Say wha? I never knew you could make these yourself! And strangely, Three Musketeers was my favorite candy bar growing up and still is one of them. I haven’t had a craving in recent years, but I definitely have in the past…which is weird because I agree that they’re pretty dull. Anyways, I’ll definitely have to try this recipe!
Erin says
Those look so yummy! I’m bunking at the in laws so don’t have my own kitchen. When I do in 3 months I will prolly try this out! :D
Deb says
I don’t eat chocolate bars much, but I actually really like Three Musketeers! The filling in yours looks delightful and I can just imagine how awesome it would be to have a bowl full of the stuff and just take a spoon and go to town with it, ha.
Nichol says
Oh wow I am so making these!!!

I feel your pain with melting and tempering chocolate! I have had so many headaches with it. However I have learned a simple trip to melting and even tempering chocolate in the microwave. Heat in 10-20 second increments, you can even do this at full power. At school we use a professional grade microwave! Make sure you stir between! Heat only until just melted, stirring helps distribute the heat to avoid burning. Good luck! An I can’t wait to make these!
amanda says
Thanks for the tips! I will definitely try it one day when I’m feeling brave! :)
