Ingredients

Main Ingredients

Thin, crispy sugar wafers – quantity as desired (e.g., 20 wafers)
High-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white) – 8 oz (about 225g)
Butter or coconut oil – 1 tablespoon

Optional Toppings

Crushed nuts (almonds, pistachios, etc.) – 2 tablespoons
Sprinkles – 1 tablespoon
Sea salt flakes – 1 teaspoon
Powdered sugar or edible glitter for garnish (optional)

Equipment

Baking paper or silicone mat – enough to line a baking tray

Instructions

Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to place your dipped wafers on, ensuring they do not stick once coated.
Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt your choice of chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy. Stir in the butter or coconut oil to improve texture and shine.
Dip the Wafers: Carefully submerge each sugar wafer halfway or fully into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off before placing it on the lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings (Optional): While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle desired toppings such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt for added texture and flavor.
Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely, locking in crispness and flavor.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate to significantly enhance flavor and smooth texture.
Melt chocolate slowly to prevent burning or seizing — patience is essential.
Ensure sugar wafers are completely dry before dipping to avoid clumping issues.
Use a fork or dipping tool for an even chocolate coating.
Work quickly in small batches since chocolate sets fast.
