When using canned frosting mix, place the mix in a bowl and add 1/2 cup of whipped topping with it and whip with mixer for about a minute. It doubles the amount and makes it easier to spread.
I've never tried the whipped topping with frosting. I do know that just whipping the canned frosting (with nothing added) adds volume and makes it easier to spread.
