Chocolate wafers

Wafer is a thin, crisp cake or biscuit, often sweetened and flavored. Wafers are seldom eaten alone and are often combined with components with a contrasting texture, such as chocolate or ice cream. The crispness and lightness contrasts well with soft cream or chocolate.

Chocolate wafers are disks of flavoured candy that are used as a confectionary coating on cookies, fruit, ice cream, and desserts. Chocolate wafers also called melting wafers, candy melts, or melting chocolate.

Famous chocolate wafers were originally produced by the National Biscuit Company in 1924. The chocolate wafers are eaten as a cookie and they are also often ground up to use in chocolate crusts for cheesecakes and pies, layered with sweetened whipped cream in icebox cakes (refrigerator cakes), and used for ice cream sandwiches.

These chocolate wafers use the most basic of ingredients; butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
