Ingredients

2 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) milk chocolate or butterscotch chips
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1-1/4 cups ground toasted almonds, graham cracker crumbs or finely chopped salted peanuts

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, stirring several times.
Fold in whipped topping. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Freeze for 1-1/2 hours or until firm.
