Ingredients
- 1 package of Mexican wafer cookies
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the Mexican wafer cookies in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, creating a compact rectangular base. Ensure the cookies are touching and form a consistent foundation.
- Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the arranged wafer cookies, using a spatula to spread evenly and ensure complete coverage of the cookie layer.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed nuts (if using) and colorful sprinkles across the melted chocolate surface, distributing them uniformly for visual appeal and added texture.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden completely.
- Once chocolate is fully set, break or cut the bark into irregular pieces using a sharp knife or by hand-breaking.
- Store the Mexican Wafer Cookie Bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
