I wanted to make the Hershey Bar filling and use it for icing on chocolate cupcakes. How can I firm it up enough?? I only used 8 oz of Cool Whip and have added 3 TBLS of Dream Whip. I have added a small amount more of PS, but was afraid to add too much. Any ideas??
I am not sure what you are talking about Rylan Ty. This filling has 8oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup PS, 1 cup chopped pecans, 4 crushed Hershey Bars, and 12 oz of Cool Whip. How do i made a ganache out of it? It really is an excellent filling, I just thought it would make a great icing for chocolate cupcakes. Thank you for replying!
Oh well, I think you should stick you your recipe. I was going to just suggest doing a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of chocolate and cream. Once it has settled, whip it to make whipped ganache.
As for your recipe, how do you want to frost it? Do you want just a thin flat coat or a thick swirly frosting?
I am so sorry for the spelling!! I am wearing braces on my wrist and typing is a pain - literally.
It should be Hershey Filling and a fluffy swirl.
I'm not very familiar with your recipe but when I made my caramel chocolate frosting (using hershey bars), I just added melted chocolate and it became firmer.
RylanTy..."caramel chocolate frosting using hershey bars"...Yum, is that recipe posted here?
havingfun...yours calls for granulated and powdered sugar?
Flourpots, no... it's actually my own recipe. I don't really measure, I just eyeball evereything so I don't have the exact recipe. I use butter, condensed milk, evaporated milk and brown sugar. I let it boil(stirring constantly) and once I feel like it is good, I let it cool. I then whip it and add cream cheese and add 75% of the giant bar. I'll figure out the recipe so I can post it here.
FlourPots, yes it has granulated and powdered sugar in it. It is a wonderful filling.
havingfun, just being nosy... what kind of cupcakes are you using this filling with? The filling sounds yummy. I am copying it to my recipe file. Thanks! Good luck with this.

I am using it with the Darn Good Chocolate Cake - as cupcakes. Here is the recipe as used for a filling:
Hershey Bar Filling (from the Chocolate Candy Bar Cake recipe)
1 8oz. cream cheese softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 12oz. Cool Whip
1 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)
4 1.5oz. Hershey Bars chopped
Beat cream cheese with the white sugar and PS until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip, pecans and chocolate.
This is a filling I am trying to adapt to an icing.
Enjoy!
I too am copying your filling receipe havingfun, but I have one silly question. When you finally fold in the cool whip, pecans and chocolate. Do you melt the chocolate before doing this step? It all sounds so yummy, sorry I couldn't help with adapting this receipe for frosting.

No, you just chop them up. The easiest way to do this is to freeze them first, then yack them on the counter good to break them up. Hope you enjoy!
Can anyone help with the firming up??
Thanks havingfun for clarity! I also had a thought maybe you could add a little jello chocolate instant pudding mix to thicken the filling, anyone have any imput on doing that.
Michelle,
That is a thought, but I have already added 3 TBLS of Dream Whip. BTW, I only added 8 oz of the Cool Whip.
