Easy, four-ingredient, No-Bake Vanilla Wafer Butter Cups, topped with a generous layer of rich, dark chocolate.
Hey, there! Let's shelve the healthy nut butters for a second and turn our tastebuds to Vanilla Wafer Butter...
Yes! No-Bake Vanilla Wafer Butter Cups topped with a rich, dark chocolate glaze. I realize that it's not quite warm enough to have already turned my mind to sweet treats of the no-bake variety, but it has been a very long, cold winter. Truth be told, I made these three weeks ago - I shared a process shot on my Instagram feed.
Yup, summer has occupied my thoughts for some time.
I like to peruse the sale baskets at Williams-Sonoma after the holidays. OK, who am I kidding, I make weekly visits - gets me up from behind my desk and out of the office. Yeah, fresh downtown air and a little physical activity that starts at WS and sometimes ends at Momofuko Milk Bar really defeats the purpose, wouldn't you say... but I digress.
On one such visit to WS, I picked up a few jars of Vanilla Wafer Butter. You know something is addictive when buying just one is never an option. Also, when you find yourself eating it with a spoon from a jar while hiding in dark corners of your home...
So, to not be judged too harshly, I molded them into mini cups, topped them with chocolate glaze and enjoyed them as a real dessert, like a normal person.
Actually, I took most of these No-Bake Vanilla Wafer Butter Cups to work in an effort to prove to a certain someone that I am no addict. I also made a small tart pan version and took that in as well. Move along now, no addiction here.
If only I could put an end to the recurring dream of me covered in the stuff in the Oval office and the President walks in covered in chocolate...oops, you're still here!
Look at them...beckoning me, urmm... you. Go on, make a batch, find a dark corner, a spoon and ENJOY! 🙂 Everything you need is below.

Ingredients
Method
- Pulse the crackers in a food processor until crumb consistency is reached.
- Add the wafer butter, confectioner's sugar and vanilla paste. Pulse until combined and smooth.
- Press into tartlette or tart molds and set aside.
- Melt chocolate over a double boiler, stirring continually. When completely melted, remove form heat and transfer to a container that makes pouring easy - I used a measuring cup. You can use a microwave for this step, as well, but it is not my preferred way of melting chocolate - higher chance of burning the chocolate from my experience.
- Pour melted chocolate onto the wafer butter dough in each mold and place in the refrigerator overnight, or until set (about two hours).
