National Chocolate Wafer Day

Learn About Chocolate Wafers

Probably the most prominent example of chocolate wafers is the now famous Kit Kat bar, a delicious combination of chocolate and wafers that are popular in America. But those are just the wafers that are covered in chocolate. Nabisco also makes a style of wafers that are actually completely chocolate and utterly delicious all on their own.

But that’s not how we suggest you actually consume them, instead follow their recipe for an incredible chocolate wafer cake and you’ll know what true bliss is.

Another version of the chocolate wafer can be found in the chocolate waffle cones that are used to serve ice-cream. While shaped into a cone and called waffle cones, that just refers to the patterns that come from their preparation.

At the end of the day they’re still wafers, and we look forward to enjoying them in the summer heat each year, and in the dead of winter. Spring is nice… Ok, just every season, chocolate wafer are that delicious!

Mix together the dry ingredients and mix in a food processor until thoroughly blended, and proceed to cut up the butter and add them to the bowl.

Pulse the mix a few times and then mix in the milk and vanilla while the blender is running. Continue to run until the mixture begins to stick to the blade or the bowl, then transfer the dough onto a cutting board and knead.

Take the mixture and form into a 14 in log approximately 2in in diameter and wrap in wax paper to chill in the fridge for an hour.

Preheat oven to 350, and then slice the log into 1/4in or less thick slices, and place them an inch apart on cookie sheets lined with wax paper. 12-15 minutes and they’re done! Let them cool and enjoy!
