Trying new cookies this year

[Michiana Mom]

Cookie Monster's PB&J cookies (from the new Sesame Street cookbook) and Snuffle's Truffles (from the old Sesame Street cookbook I had when I was a kid).

One thing I'm wondering - the truffle recipe calls for chocolate wafer cookies. There are no pictures of them, so does that mean the long skinny rectangles with the grid pattern on them and some kind of cream inside, or does it mean the round ones that look like vanilla wafers (that I've seen back home but don't think I've ever seen here)? I've heard them both called "wafer" and it might work either way.

What is the recipe like? What else is called for, that might help us decipher.

You crush them up and use them to coat balls you make of cream cheese, honey, raisins and nuts

Oreos! I'm making oreo truffles tonight...similar to that.

Well I suppose Snuffleupagus would approve, but now I gotta figure out where I'll hide them til I make the truffles - Oreos are like gold in this house :p

I currently have mine hidden in my Tupperware That's A Bowl, bowl w/ the lid on tight!

I'm thinking maybe they're referring to the "Famous Chocolate Wafers" by Nabisco. They're hard to find, at least around me, but I had a recipe that called for them once and I had never even heard of them. Just google it and you'll find a picture of the box. Hope this helps.

I had a recipe that I found on the boards last year that used those. They were so hard to find!

They were hard to find. Only Stop & Shop had them around here. And they were pretty expensive, like 4.69 for a little package. I might have gotten the recipe here too.

It was Choc. Wafers dipped in White Choc. w/ crushed candy canes on top.
They were good.

You can bake your own chocolate wafers if you can't find them. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it looks about right!
