Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Sugar Wafers – thin and crisp, about 20 pieces
  • High-Quality Chocolate (dark, milk, or white) – 8 oz (225 g) bars or chips

Optional Ingredients

  • Coconut Oil or Butter – 1 to 2 teaspoons to thin and smooth the chocolate
  • Sea Salt – a pinch, for sprinkling on top
  • Decorative Toppings such as finely chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut – as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather thin, crisp sugar wafers and select your preferred type of chocolate. If using, measure out coconut oil or butter to mix with the chocolate for a smoother melt.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate slowly, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add coconut oil or butter if desired to achieve a glossy, even coating.
  3. Dip the Wafers: Dip each sugar wafer individually into the melted chocolate, coating completely or partially according to your preference. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing wafers on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle optional sea salt or your choice of decorative toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles to enhance flavor and presentation.
  5. Let Them Set: Place the dipped wafers in the refrigerator or on the counter until the chocolate is fully hardened, about 15 to 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Use room temperature wafers to prevent melting or sogginess during dipping.
  • Temper the chocolate properly for best shine and crisp texture when set.
  • Apply a thin layer of chocolate to maintain wafer crunch and prevent overpowering flavor.
  • Work quickly as the chocolate sets fast when exposed to air.
  • Store finished wafers in an airtight container in a cool place for freshness up to one week.
