Candy Cane Chocolate-Dipped Wafers
If you're looking for a last-minute gift for neighbors, friends, or co-workers, these candy cane chocolate-dipped wafers are perfect! They meet all the requirements of last-minute: they're quick and easy to make, they're cute, and they taste delicious!
One of the best parts about these candy cane chocolate-dipped wafers is that they don't require very many ingredients, and they can be made in less than 30 minutes.
For the wafer cookies, I usually use Gamesa Chocolate Sugar Wafers
For the dipping, you can use Wilton Chocolate Candy Melts
Finally, crush up some candy canes. You need about 4. You can use a food processor, but I feel that this makes it too fine-- I like for there to be a few slightly larger chunks. So I just put them in a bag and used my meat tenderizer mallet to bust them up.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 ounce package of sugar wafer cookies
- 5-6 ounces chocolate candy coating
- 4 Candy Canes, crushed
Directions:
- Line a cookie pan with waxed paper.
- Crush candy canes.
- Put chocolate in a microwavable bowl. On defrost setting, at about 40% power, microwave for 1 minute. Stir well. If needed, microwave (still on defrost at 40% power) for 30 second intervals until chocolate stirs smooth.
- Dip wafer cookie into melted chocolate.
- Dip into crushed peppermint.
- Lay to dry on waxed paper.

Yum! I love peppermint and chocolate together.
I'm definitely going to try these. This is the second time I have seen them and both times I've thought they look delicious!
Oh my goodness, what a great idea for wafer cookies! My 2nd daughter loves those cookies more than anything and the way you've jazzed them up she'd go nuts!
My kids definitely enjoyed them 🙂
These look so simple, yet fancy! I love the combination of chocolate and peppermint so these would definitely be a hit in our house!
They are definitely simple, but oh so tasty!
What a great, simple gift to make for my neighbors!
It's perfect for neighbor gifts- so quick and easy!

These looks delicious and perfect for gifts! Last year I made Homemade Sugar Scrub for all of the girls in my family and it was a big hit. I love homemade gifts!
Homemade gifts are my favorite, Emily!
They look so pretty!! My son would love this.
I love how candy canes look!
YUM! They actually make gluten-free wafers I could use for this (although I wish I could use the ones you used!). These look great!
I had no idea they made these gluten-free, but I did find it interesting that both the chocolate I used and the wafers were both kosher!
These look so festive for a party!
I know, I love how cute they are!
Mmm, those look really good. I love wafers. What a great way to use chocolate and candy cane with them!
Thanks- they are so delicious!
I would love to dunk these in some hot cocoa! Yum!
Yum! Good idea!
Pinning this! It has two of my favorite holiday things: candy canes and chocolate! (OK, so chocolate is a year-round favorite, but you know...)
I definitely love chocolate year round too 😉 But I totally understand what you're saying. Peppermint is good, but peppermint with chocolate is on a whole different level!
