Ingredients

16 sugar wafer cookies (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry -- or a combo!)
4 ounces (~3/4 cup) chocolate of choice (See Note 1)
1 teaspoon oil or shortening
Optional: festive sprinkles, crushed cookies, crushed toasted nuts, toasted coconut, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, extra chocolate for a contrasting drizzle --whatever you'd like to top your wafers with! (See Note 2)

Instructions

PREP: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
CHOCOLATE: Coarsely chop the chocolate and melt it in the microwave with oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between intervals until fully melted and smooth. Be careful to not over-heat.
COAT WAFERS: Use a spoon to spoon chocolate over the top 3/4ths of of sugar wafer cookie. Tap the side of the bowl to release excess chocolate.
DECORATE: Set on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with your choice of toppings (if using). Allow to set before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: Chocolate: Milk, dark, ruby, or white chocolate (or a combination of a few chocolates) can be used in this recipe, so choose your favorite! Use high-quality chocolate that melts smoothly and evenly.

What is ruby chocolate? Ruby chocolate is a unique type of chocolate made from naturally pink cocoa beans, resulting in its reddish-pink hue without the use of food coloring. It's the fourth type of chocolate, alongside dark, milk, and white chocolate, and may not be easily found in stores, but is readily available online.

Note 2: Decorating: The sky is the limit when it comes to decorating these chocolate-covered wafers. Use colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or drizzle with melted chocolate in a contrasting color for a unique touch. OR try one of these fun flavor combinations:

Dark chocolate and sea salt: Dip wafers in dark chocolate and finish with a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt flakes.
Milk chocolate and almonds: Dip wafers in creamy milk chocolate and top with crushed roasted almonds (or a different nut).
White chocolate and dried fruit: Dip wafers in white chocolate and top with finely chopped dried cranberries, raisins, or cherries.
Milk chocolate and peanut butter: Dip wafers in warmed creamy peanut butter, then freeze. Dip frozen wafers in melted milk chocolate and let set.
White chocolate and coconut: Dip wafers in white chocolate and top with toasted shredded coconut.
White chocolate and strawberry: Dip wafers in white chocolate and top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
