Since the 1960's, whenever I've asked my family what dessert I should fix, this is what they've requested. It has a light texture and also a tempting pale chocolate color and is not overly sweet. It's a delightful treat.

Ingredients

3 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 90 wafers)
2/3 cup butter, melted
