Description

Adorable no-bake wafer “pencil” cookies dipped in pink and white melting chocolate and finished with a mini chocolate chip tip—perfect for back-to-school treats and lunchbox surprises.


Ingredients

Scale

24 vanilla wafer-style cookies (long oval if available), ends trimmed to a point on one side

8 oz bright white chocolate melting wafers

6 oz light pink white chocolate melting wafers

2 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Piping bags with small round tip (#5) or zip-top bags with a tiny corner snipped (optional)


Instructions

1. Trim one end of each vanilla wafer cookie into a gentle point to create the pencil tip; set aside any crumbs.

2. Place white and pink melting wafers into separate microwave-safe bowls; heat each in 30-second bursts, stirring between intervals, until smooth and fluid.

3. Transfer melted chocolates to piping bags fitted with a #5 tip (or use zip-top bags with a very small corner snipped).

4. Pipe pink chocolate across the flat end of each wafer, covering about one-quarter of the cookie to form the eraser; tap gently to smooth.

5. Pipe a small triangle of white chocolate on the pointed end to create the wooden pencil tip; tap gently to settle.

6. While the white chocolate is still soft, press a single mini chocolate chip at the very point to form the pencil “lead.”

7. Arrange cookies on a parchment-lined tray and let set at room temperature until firm, or refrigerate 10–15 minutes to speed setting; serve or store airtight.

Notes

If white chocolate is too thick, stir in 1–2 tsp neutral oil or a small dab of shortening to thin.

No pink wafers? Tint white melting chocolate with oil-based or candy coloring; avoid water-based dyes which can seize chocolate.

Work in small batches so the chocolate stays fluid; re-warm in short bursts if needed.

Make-ahead: Store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 5 days; separate layers with parchment.

Allergy-friendly swaps: Use dairy-free melting wafers and dairy-free mini chips if needed.
