How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the fun part! Here’s how to make these delightful Sweet Snacks:

1. Step 1: Set Up Your Decorating Station
   Gather all your ingredients and set up a clean workspace. Lay down some parchment or wax paper to catch any drips.
2. Step 2: Melt the Magic
   In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your candy melts according to the package instructions. If they’re too thick, add a little vegetable shortening or coconut oil to thin them out.
3. Step 3: Dip and Dazzle
   Dip each wafer cookie into the melted candy, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess drip off before placing it on the parchment paper.
4. Step 4: Chill Out (and Set)
   Place the dipped cookies in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate set.
5. Step 5: Get Creative with Edible Markers
   Once the cookies are set, use your edible markers to draw fun school-themed designs. Think apples, pencils, or even little school buses!
6. Step 6: Final Flourish (Optional)
   If you want to add a little extra flair, sprinkle some nonpareils or colored sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Back to School Wafers Cookies turn out perfectly:
