Ingredients

  • 24 wafer biscuits
  • 1½ cups milk or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Arrange wafer biscuits into stacks of 2 or 3. Gently press together and set aside.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla if using.
  • Dip each wafer stack into the melted chocolate, fully coating all sides. Lift out and let excess drip off.
  • Place coated wafers on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until fully set.
  • Once firm, cut into bars if desired and enjoy.
