Lightly flavored and layered with a rich Chocolate filling, Chocolate Wafers are loved by everyone. 

History of National Chocolate Wafer Day

In North America, a number of companies made Chocolate Wafers, and each brand had its own trademark taste and style. The companies carefully chose the ingredients and took pride in their packaging. Over the years, most companies merged and, by the 1930s, there were only a few brands that were exclusively making Chocolate Wafers. 

Today, Chocolate Wafers are an American favorite. Thanks to the light texture and taste, Chocolate Wafers make for a fabulous addition to Ice Cream. Bakers also swear by Chocolate Wafers as an ingredient in Cakes and crushed Wafers add an interesting texture to Pies and Tarts. Decorating with Wafers is a common practice and Chocolate Wafers truly make a dish look more inviting. Chocolate Wafers are a popular snack, the most famous Chocolate Wafers are KitKat! KitKat is a delicious combination of Chocolate and Wafers that are popular in America and in quite a few other Countries, too. Another version of the Chocolate Wafer that we consume regularly is the Chocolate Waffle Cone. Creameries serve Ice Creams in Waffle Cones and when you finish with the Ice Cream, you have another treat waiting for you! Unlike other varieties of Cookies and Biscuits, Wafers are quite difficult to make at home. And that is probably why Chocolate Wafers sell so widely at Grocery Stores.
