What Can I Make With Vanilla Wafers?
One of my husband’s favorite late night snacks is vanilla wafers with peanut butter. Our daughter likes it as well, but my favorite way to eat them is plain, dipped in milk.
I also use them to make banana pudding. I simply layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas and vanilla pudding in a glass dish and then top everything with whipped cream. It gets better if it sits for an hour or two in the fridge … don’t put the whipped cream on it though until you are ready to serve it.
How about you? Do you have a favorite Vanilla Wafer recipe?

Make a parfait by layering pudding, whipped cream, fruit and vanilla wafers in a wine glass.
Use vanilla wafers for your next cheesecake crust, adding butter and sugar and pre-baking before filling.
Spread the flat side of one with peanut butter, sandwich with another cookie and dip in melted chocolate. Before they cool you could add shredded toasted coconut, chopped nuts, etc.
Use as part of crumb topping for a fruit crisp. Use frozen bags of fruit, apples that are on their way out, what have you. Also, instead of adding flour and sugar to the fruit for the crisp, crush the wafers into small pieces. They will break down with the fruit and act as a thickener and give a little sweetness.
Use in place of graham crackers for pie crusts.
Make caramel apples using the little kraft squares of caramel then roll in crushed cookie pieces.
