Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package Vanilla or Raspberry Wafers *You can make 12 or more of these cookies. Just add more ingredients as needed.
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 3 Tbsp Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1 drop Pink Food Coloring *More or less color depending on desired outcome.

Method
 

  1. Remove the wafers from the wrapper and place on a cutting board.
  2. Using a sharp knife, neatly cut the top side ends of the wafer at an angle. Your aim is to create a sharp "pencil tip". Each angled cut will be about 2-3 centimeters long and will meet in the middle to form a central point (or tip).
  3. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in thirty second intervals. Stirring in between and being careful not to burn.
  4. Once melted, separate half the melted chocolate by placing it in a separate bowl. One bowl of chocolate will stay white- and one bowl will add a drop of food coloring to create "pink" chocolate. The white chocolate is for the tip of the pencil- and the pink chocolate is for the end of the pencil (the eraser).
  5. Dip the angled part of the pencil in white chocolate and add a mini chocolate chip -to the tip- to act as the pencil lead.
  6. Flip and dip the end of the wafer into the pink-white chocolate. (Approximately 2-3 centimeters deep.) The pink chocolate acts as the pencil's eraser.
  7. Allow the white chocolate ends to harden. Once dry- they are ready to be served and enjoyed.
