Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 72 Nilla Wafer cookies
- 1 (7-ounce) bag of Rolos
- 8 ounces chocolate chips or melting chocolate wafers
Binding/Optional Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for melting with chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and warming the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Distribute Nilla Wafer cookies across the parchment-lined surface, creating a uniform arrangement.
- Position a single Rolo candy precisely in the center of each cookie.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and warm for approximately 90 seconds, ensuring the Rolos soften without completely liquefying.
- Carefully extract the baking sheet and delicately place a second Nilla Wafer atop each softened Rolo, applying gentle pressure to create a sandwich-like structure.
- Refrigerate the cookie assemblies for 15-20 minutes, allowing the chocolate to stabilize and firm.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate coating by melting chocolate using a double boiler or microwave method, incorporating coconut oil if utilizing chocolate chips to enhance smoothness.
- Utilize a fork or specialized chocolate dipper to submerge each cookie sandwich into the molten chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
- Gently tap the utensil against the bowl’s edge to eliminate excess chocolate, then return the coated morsels to the parchment-lined surface.
- Return the chocolate-enrobed bites to the refrigerator, permitting the coating to completely solidify before serving.
