Easy Chocolate Fluff

This easy Chocolate Fluff is simple creamy no-bake chocolate comfort for dessert, whipped up in no time flat. Kid-friendly and loved by the grown-ups, too!

Since moving to North Carolina from Vermont about 20 years ago, I have found a few things I miss that you just can't get in the South. Like grade B real maple syrup. Sure, of course you can buy real maple syrup in the grocery stores in the South but not the totally awesome grade B stuff. And fabulous Italian restaurants. Yup, Italian restaurants are waaaaaaaaaay better up North. And Ring Dings. Ohhhhhh, how I miss my Drake's Ring Dings. Do you know about Ring Dings?

They're these totally awesome, totally delicious round little creme-filled, chocolate-covered chocolate cakes ...

And my oh my, they're little round bites of chocolate heaven!

My Mom used to pack them in my lunch box. And I loved them. Back then, they were individually wrapped in foil {instead of the current cellophane-wrapped two-pack} and I used to make a little hat out of the foil wrapping. You know, chocolate yumminess and a fun little hat ... you can't beat that.

I love Ring Dings so much that any time my parents or friends travel to Vermont, they bring me back a box. And I do a little happy dance when my box arrives! Then I devour them. Every last bite. In about three days flat.

So, what's a now-Southern girl to do to get her Ring Ding fix when she doesn't have anyone traveling to Vermont?

Well, this Chocolate Fluff does a pretty great job filling the bill.

That's right, I get my creamy-chocolatey Ring Ding fix with an easy-to-make no-bake mixture of homemade whipped cream and chocolate graham crackers.

Since moving to North Carolina from Vermont about Easy Chocolate Fluff

This Chocolate Fluff actually came about by mistake. But hey, don't lots of great things come about by mistake?

My brother's mother-in-law was trying to create an easy dessert that my brother's kids would eat. They were kind of picky eaters when they were little. In trying to please them, she created a trifle-like dessert using Cool Whip and chocolate graham crackers dunked in vanilla-flavored milk and layered together ... and she called it 'Nanna's Special Dessert.'

Well, let me tell you, Nanna's Special Dessert was sooooo good!

So of course, I asked her how to make it.

Well, when I decided to make some, I totally forgot what she had told me. I thought she had told me she just crumbled some chocolate graham crackers in whipped cream.

So that's what I did.

I whipped up some homemade whipped cream, and crumbled in some big hunks of chocolate graham crackers.

And it was delicious!

So not exactly Nanna's Special Dessert, but totally yummy. And creamy. And comforting. And chocolatey. And Ring Ding-y. And one of the best mistakes I've ever made.

Now when you go to make this easy Chocolate Fluff, you want to coarsely crush the chocolate graham crackers, about like this ...

Don't just crumble them all into crumbs. It's okay if some of them are just crumbs, but with the 'hunks' of graham crackers, you get nice big streaks of choclatey-ness in the fluff.

Then you simply mix the graham cracker crumbles into some homemade whipped cream {or Cool Whip, if you want to be even easier} and refrigerate over night.

And there you have easy no-bake Chocolate Fluff! That I could totally do a face plant in and be quite happy.

So in between my deliveries of Ring Dings, I'll get my creamy, chocolatey comfort fix from Chocolate Fluff instead. And be very happy with the substitution.

Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
