Wafers are round flat disks of confectionery coating that are available in different flavors and colors.  They can be found in the baking section of many supermarkets or party stores.  If you can not find wafers white chocolate coating can be used and colored with food coloring.  Follow the directions on the coating package for melting and coloring.
