I made these for my grandson's class at school. (36 of them). I finally found the chocolate wafers and because I wanted the cupcakes to look "like the photo", I paid dearly for the wafers (almost $5 for 42 wafers). But, my grandson was worth it. PROBLEM: I heated the wafers as recommended in the directions but they were still very hard to cut without breaking. Tried several different knives and different times of warming but "lost" many of the cookies to breakage. (Bought another box of wafers.) Finally got enough cut wafers for all the hats I needed. I decorated the cupcakes on Sunday for him to take to school Monday morning. They all looked very, very good! I was pleased. Monday I packaged the cupcakes for transport. The wafer top hats began to break from the cupcake. At this point it was a quick replace of top hats. I would NEVER use the chocolate wafers again unless I was serving immediately. I would use something else, maybe a peanut butter cup cut in half and just set on top of the cupcake. With all this effort I was well rewarded by the smiles of the children and a big hug from my grandson. Priceless.
Made these for a birthday party this weekend. Fun and easy to make , everyone enjoyed them.
I could not find the chocolate wafers, so I used girl scout thin mints. I got alot of compliments on them.
Such a cute idea and fairly easy.

These cupcakes are a hit with the kids and the adults around Christmas time! I use homemade frosting it tastes better. N.Y.
