Home Made Chocolate Wafers

From the moment I saw the theme for sugar high Friday February from The Domestic Goddess in palachinka’s amazing blog, I knew I would participate this time;
There is nothing that I like more than being able to copy some of my childhood treats and sharing them with my family.
Since I was a little girl in my country I remember the wafers were the main treats in most of the houses, every where we go; whether it was a trip or just in the lunch box, they were everywhere.
So I decided to try to copy the wafers and the flavor it had.
