Whopper Wafers
Delightful wafers featuring vanilla, icing, sesame seeds, and green coconut, perfect for a sweet treat or festive occasion, appealing to those who enjoy crunchy, colorful confections.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put icing on the bottom of the peppermint patty and place it on the flat side of a vanilla wafer.
- Ice the flat side of the second vanilla wafer and sprinkle the outer edge with green coconut.
- Place the second vanilla wafer on top of the peppermint patty.
- Using a new paint brush, dab with light Karo syrup and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nut-free alternative, consider using sunflower seeds in place of sesame seeds. If you want to add a bit more flavor, try using flavored icing or adding a touch of almond extract to the Karo syrup. When assembling, ensure the icing is sticky enough to hold the wafers together; a thicker layer works best. For a fun twist, add sprinkles or colored sugar to the edges for a festive look.
