In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip and the instant pudding mix. Fold until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until a soft, slightly stiff dough forms.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to firm up the mixture.

Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roll each candy ball in extra powdered sugar until fully coated.

Return the coated candies to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set before serving.
