- Spread a thin layer of Nutella on one wafer, top with a second to form a sandwich.
- Chill assembled sandwiches for 15–20 minutes :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave (in 15–20 sec intervals, stirring between), keeping it smooth :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
- Dip each sandwich cookie into melted chocolate, coating bottom and sides. Let set on parchment.
- Once the bottom sets, dip the top if desired, then decorate with sprinkles while chocolate is still wet.
- Let cookies fully set at room temperature (avoid fridge to prevent bloom) :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
Notes
- Chilling the wafers and sandwiches ensures clean spreading and dipping.
- Use quality melting wafers or chips (e.g. Ghirardelli) to avoid seizing :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
- Keep water away from melting chocolate to prevent seizing :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
- Customize toppings seasonally—sprinkles, colored sugars, or crushed nuts.
