They are also higher in antioxidants and have less in sugar than milk chocolate.
These chocolate wafers recipe have the ability to absorb most anything you choose to top on them like ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate cream to make something similar to Oreo cookies. Marshmallows also go excellently in between the wafers and make a super awesome snack for the kids. Place ice cream in between the wafers and chill them in the freezer. The cookies will soften a bit from the ice cream and turn out absolutely irresistible. Vanilla, chocolate, and peppermint ice cream are especially wonderful with chocolate wafers. Serve them for dinner after work and your significant other will never forget this sweet surprise.
Chocolate wafers also make a light and satisfying snack dunked in a glass of milk or savored with coffee or tea.
